Invite attendees to Outlook Calendar using Sharepoint Calendar

[JASCIBER]

I am rather pleased with Sharepoint team site calendar capability. Although I would prefer a stronger integration than "Link to Outlook". The problem is that entries in team calendars does not show up in the personal calendar.

Is there a third party webpart/Outlook add-on available for this?

I could think of two useful scenaries:

1)
New Outlook Appointment -> Invite attendees -> Invite a "sharepoint calendar list" (an entry is created in Sharepoint).


2)
New Sharepoint Calendar entry -> Invite attendees--> (emails are sent)

Hello,

You could setup a meeting workspace and then invite attendees to the meeting and that meeting requets will appear in the Outlook calendar.

You do not have a way of having entries in a sharepoint calendar to appear in a users personal outlook calendar (atleast not by default). However you can link the calendar to outlook and open up a read only copy on the users client, but since that does not allow you to make any entries in Outlook you kind of lose the two-way functionality there.

Regards,
Thomas
