I've been through a lot of info on the web regarding Outlook,
specifically appoinments, but nothing I have found directly answers my
question. I'm writing a standalone application in C# (language doesn't
matter) and would like to embed the Outlook appointment book (sorry if
that is the wrong terminology) in my app, not just what goes on under
the covers but the actual appointment book itself with calendar and
time. I know you can embed Word and/or Excel in an app, what about
Outlook. Can this be done? If so, could someone PLEASE point me to
some info on how to do so.

MANY THANKS!

Barry

Have you looked at the Outlook View Control? See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/ovc.htm. It's an ActiveX control, but should work in a Windows form application in .NET through COM interop.
