Steve,

What are you using to get the data out of Outlook and into a file in ASCII
format?

That method does work.  I have a scheduled event process that takes my
schedule from Outlook and exports it.  At the appropriate time, it writes
out to a text file which ECS is monitoring.  I use the @ as an arbitrary
check character.  If the file doesn't start with @, it speaks the message,
then writes the file back out with @ as the only character.  May be able to
modify this concept for your use.  Let me know if you'd like the code I
have.
