No, which is kinda the point. I'm trying valiantly to head off an Exchange migration. -- Joey Kelly < Minister of the Gospel | Linux Consultant > http://joeykelly.net GPG key fingerprint = 8F11 D859 81A6 DE8C 5429 4A07 7146 1AFD 5C41 161E "I may have invented it, but Bill made it famous." --- David Bradley, the IBM employee that invented CTRL-ALT-DEL -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Or is everything absolutely tied to the GUI? I can already point-and-click and export to Excel format, though making it cleaner or shorter (perhaps reducing the entire process to 1 click, for instance) might be helpful. I'd really like to have it happen periodically without the user having to do anything. One of the users in question will probably balk at having to manually export his data (and he's a high-level manager, so I'm not going to be able to make him do it). What really gets me is that I've set up WebDAV, gotten mozilla and perhaps a couple of other clients to post to the DAV server, import random calendars, etc., but Outlook simply won't play nice. I've gotten Outlook to export free/busy lists, but those don't give enough information. Also, importing free/busy has been hit-and-miss. The users are not likely to want to migrate to some other app, and in any case most of them have PDAs, which complicates things even further.
