Hi Maria,

You should look into the vCal and iCal formats. They are universal
calendar invitation formats that work with most any calendar
application. Essentially, your application would generate a vCal/iCal
file and prompt the user to save/open the file on their computer. When
they do, it would open with their calendar app (Outlook, etc.), which
would take adding it to their calendar from there.

The file formats for vCal and iCal is pretty easy to generate using a
server-side scripting language like PHP or Perl. As far as I know the
formats are pretty interchangeable too; any app that works with one
is likely to work with the other (such is the case w/ Outlook).

Best of luck,
Bill
