Hi all,

I've been learning how to script in Outlook (thanks in no small part
to Sue Mosher's book), but have run in to a bit of a problem. The
tasks I'm hoping to automate involve users that have to manage
multiple calendars, but I cannot seem to rename the calendars within
Outlook to create a distinction for my script. The calendar folders
are in different accounts (IMAP) and I have created a script where the
user manually selects the appropriate calendar folder, but I'd kind of
like to remove the need for the objNS.PickFolder call. Is there a
secret trick to renaming the Calendar folders (the file-rename option
is greyed out) or maybe a property value I can set (or read) on the
folders to help them be more distinct?

Thanks!

-Dave

Default folders like Calendar can't be renamed. Also a Calendar folder accessed via IMAP won't act like a Calendar folder in a .pst file or Exchange mailbox.
