Hi,

Can onyone offer any suggestions or a start point to find out out to download an event into Outlook?

May need a suggestion on the calendar as well, I would guess that they sorta go hand in hand.

Any suggestions?

I don't think this is a job for PHP, since PHP has limited access to the files on the client computer.

I suspect there might be an Outlook forum here, which might be more able to help you.
 
can't you just send a vcal formatted file down to the browser? when the user opens it, his default scheduling application will do the heavy lifting.

vcal is (I think) an open format too.
 
Thanks.

The vCal is essentially the way that I had decided to do it. I had found the iCalendar file which is supposed to be a newer Internet Calendar file. Testing so far looks good for Outlook.
