I guess I wasn’t specific enough.

I would like to know the step by step process of adding a button to an EMAIL that would add a meeting/appointment to a recipients calendar by them clicking this button.

There is a feature in the Notes Client already for this, under More…, then Copy into new…, and choose Calendar Entry. If this is not sufficient, I would recommend using the code in the Shared Action called “Copy Into NewNew _Calendar Entry”.

Why reinvent – its there already.

I believe he is asking if you send an email message to a group of people, how can you add a “hot button” in the email that will allow the receipents to click on and it will automatically add and event to their calendar. As oppose to just sending a calendar invite.

Kramirez –

Here’s some sample button code to create a meeting on someone’s calendar for:
- Date and time: 23rd April 2011
- 9am – 9.30am EDT

================

Sub Click(Source As Button)
‘====================
‘ CHANGE THINGS IN THIS SECTION
‘====================
‘ this determines which type of calendar entry to make, choose from Appointment,
‘ Event, and Reminder
calEntryType = “Appointment”

‘ this set of variables is for the calendar entry that will be created
‘ First is the Subject that will appear in the calendar. Use Chr$(10) to add
‘a line break
calEntrySubject = “WebSphere Portal 6.5 What’s New”

‘Optional – if you would like you can include data for the location field and the
‘ details would be the body when you open the entry If you want to add thing
‘ just put it between the quotes. If you have more details to add (like multiple
‘ lines) you can just put it between two vertical bars like this: |
‘ put anything here including several lines | (You get a vertical bar by shift on
‘ the slash on the US keyboard).

calEntryLocation = |See call in details below

‘replyMessage = ” ”

Call createCalEntry()

End Sub

TSKnoxville: So how do add your suggested code to a button. Have tried and failed.

Could anyone advise how to copy the body of the email (with the button) into the calendar appointment that is being created?

Did you ever succeed Kramirez? I want to do the same, but below is a little bit beyond me
