Sean, Our company strives for open source products, we use Google as our mail server and I use outlook here and when I receive an email invite from google and accept it appears in my outlook schedule. There is nothing that hard to get clients to use such technology, we push this as part of our ongoing services and support to our clients and you will be surprised how easy it is.
All they care about is sending an invitation, and the recipient accepting and it showing in the outlook calendar. But I guess it comes down to your confidence with your clients and how you represent the technology to them. Andrew Scott Senior Coldfusion Developer Aegeon Pty.

Hell, very few of the people I would ever conceivably send a meeting invitation too would use google calendars in any professional sense. It's too much hassle for anybody but a geek to get the level of tool integration required to make it a viable alternative to outlook. If anybody has an outlook compatible solution - I'd love to know about it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
