On evite.com, you can take one of the invitations and download it into your
Outlook calendar. I want to be able to do that for our agency's intranet, but
I can't find how. Does anyone know how I can take an appointment and post it
on a website so that users can download it to their Outlook if they choose?
Thanks a bunch!

Use the File | Save As command in Outlook to save it as an .ics iCalendar file, then post and link on your web site using whatever tools your web site manager provides for such things.

I had *just* gone back to evite when your response came though! ;-) They
actually saved it as a .vcs. Does it matter?

If you don't put in a reminder, you get slightly more functionality from an .ics (iCalendar) file than a .vcs. Why not try both?
