Our office has started using GenBook to allow the patients to book appointments on-line. GenBook creates Outlook appointments in a particular calendar. I know I can import the data from Outlook into Access but am wondering if anyone has ever imported directly from GenBook. This would allow me to get just the appointments made through the on-line tool.
 
I'm not familiar with Genbook. But there are two ways typically to get data from another application. Export it to a neutral format like a text file (Outlook would work in this case as you pointed out) or finding how the other application stores its data and linking to that data source. A lot of applications use either Access backends if they are small or SQL Server and both are easy for Access to connect to. Figuring out how Genbook stores its data and figuring out how to connect to that datasource is the approach I would take.
