    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?
