I would be happy to share my events with the group and hopefully somebody
with more ECS coding experience may be able to tighten up the code :)
Currently I am exporting the Outlook data manually but I think that I will
be ably to automate this with a little VBA code in Outlook.  As far as what
I am going to use it for, my main goal was to automate my garbage day
reminders.  I live in London, Ontario Canada and we must have the most
convoluted schedule going.  We get garbage pickup every 6 weekdays except if
there is a holiday and then it skips that day and you get pickup on the 7th
weekday.  I started trying to code this in ECS but thought the interface to
Outlook would be easier.

John.

Of course you will share your event with us, right???   ;-)

I've been thinking about this myself.  Did you automate the Outlook export
to text file, or do you do that manually?  How often?  Do you use it for
appointments, holidays, to-do lists?

Thanks!

  It's OK I have figured out how to compare a text date to today's date.

  Thanks.
