Multiple Appointments import file
 
Hi,

I help run a small rugby club with 5 teams and 250 players. I would like to
distribute a file to all club members with the fixture list for the season
that will automatically add the appoints to the members Calendars.

Q1 - How do I create the file?
Q2 - If fixtures change can I just send the update file?

Thanks,

Conor.

What version of Outlook? Will everyone use this version?

They'll need to add it to their calendar by opening and saving - nothing
will be 100% automatic.

If everyone uses outlook 2007 or a calendar that supports internet calendar
subscriptions you could publish it and update it as needed - updates get
picked up by the subscription service. But they need to subscribe. This
will work on many current calendars including calendars for Mac and the
Google calendar - it will not work for old versions of outlook.
