MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / March 2006Can I import calendar from Excel and update calendars for many peo
using office 2003 I need to import a calendar from excel and have it set up appointments for multiple users, not just the user that runs the import How would you suggest this would happen if the other users do not import the Excel information?

However, to get items into another user's calendar, there needs to be some type of appointment item that touches that users calendar to get it to update. What you are suggesting does not include this necessary step - something that will "touch" the other users calendars to cause it to update - you are essentially asking for a remote update without any notification to the user, right? I think you have a long road ahead of you. I would think of a different solution to what you are trying to accomplish.
