Hi Frank, Sorry took me so long to get back. I've been out of office.
Hopefully you will have figured out where to get the calendar control by now, however, in case you haven't, try the code below. <OBJECT classid="CLSID:0006F063-0000-0000-C000-000000000046" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/office/outlctlx.CAB# ver=9,0,0,3203" id="objInbox_WPQ_" style="width: 100%;height:320"> <PARAM NAME="Folder" VALUE="Calendar"></PARAM> </OBJECT> You will have to do some further Params in order to connect to your shared resource calendar object (your room for booking) but this is pretty much all you will need. No need for further programming of the meeting scheduling etc as this is already built into the Calendar control.

When you say ActiveX control are you referring to the Outlook Viewer you mentioned in the previous message? Where do I get/access the Outlook Calendar control and would I be able to add appointments programatically with it?
