in reply to Can not connect existing Outlook

Hi there Banduwugs, I've worked quite a bit on Outlook now and I ran into the same problem as you have. What is the exact configuration of your computer
The only time I had the problem was with Win98 and a certain version of Outlook 2000. I wrote to an "Outlook guru" but to no avail - I'm afraid you'll have to either change configuration or use the new method...
It works fine with NT/2000 and Outlook 2000/2002...
Good luck, David.

Heureux qui, comme Ulysse, a fait un beau voyage
Ou comme celui-là qui conquit la Toison,
Et puis est retourné plein d'usage et raison,
Vivre entre ses parents le reste de son âge!

    Is there anyway to open a Outlook 2000 calendar using Perl?

      Yes! It's possible, but depends on your requirements. If you are planing to get the details about Appoinments, you can use "AppointmentItem" in the object modle.
      I didn't deal a lot with appoinments. Microsoft Visual Basic - Object browser (<Alt+F11> then F2 from your outlook) and Microsoft outlook object will help you.

      Yes there is : use the Win32::OLE methods and have a look at the Outlook Object Model and from there you should be able to figure it out...
      You can navigate through the items part and check to see whether it's actually a calendar...

      To have a look at the Outlook Object Model, you can use VB's editor included in Outlook by pressing Alt+F11 and then once it's opened, you can use the library (press F2). It's got all you need and is very useful.
      You can also have a look at the MSDN...

        Please advise how I would look at the Outlook Object Model in the Win32::OLE methods?
