Geoffrey Kastelein says
Im looking for a calendar which will send reminders to individually designated people who share the calendar. I want to use this as part of my intranet with reminders for people in the company of company events or critical actions allocated to them and so sent to them only
Diane Poremsky says
You want emailed reminders? I'm not aware of a utility that can do that - a macro could do it. Or maybe Flow, if you have Office 365.

Great Info. My company displays an outlook calendar on a signage screens outside of our conference rooms for meeting schedules. It is shown weekly, is there a way or a plug-in, that will allow the calendar to change to the next week automatically.
Suzanne Curtis says
Across a multi-site business, Is there a way to allow a calendar owner to pick an alternative free/busy color dependent on location? This would then allow others to see in scheduling assistant when they can arrange meetings with them. Many thanks for any suggestions.
Suzanne Curtis says
If a company is based across multiple locations and users move around these different locations, is there an add-in that will enable Scheduling Assistant to display a different colour for recipients, dependent on where they are based or which location they have a meeting on, please?
Mike Spedden says
Thanks- is there a way I can PRINT a calendar form Outlook 2010 which shows the minutes in the left hand column...for example- 9:00 9;15 9:45 10:00 etc. I can see the lines, but I need the minutes too.... Thanks!!!!
Diane Poremsky says
Not really... not using native Outlook print functions and the day/multiday calendar. The Agenda format should include the times, but it doesn't have the time scale. I don't recall offhand if the calendar printing assistant included the times - but some of the 3rd party tools might. the other option would be to add the times to the subject field (a macro could do this).
Olivia says
Hi Diane,
Do you know if there is anything that can convert an Expedia confirmation email into a calendar events?
Diane Poremsky says
Offhand no, but a macro should be able to do it. (An upcoming feature in outlook.com and exchange online is the ability to do this automatically.)
I use the second macro at https://www.slipstick.com/developer/code-samples/create-outlook-appointment-from-message/ to copy the body to a new appointment form. It would be possible to use regex to get the dates from the message and fill those in as well.
Olivia says
I see. but I am using oulook instead of online version. Thanks, I will try your suggestion.

Do you want to hire someone? See https://www.slipstick.com/outlook-developers/outlook-exchange-developers/ - I know Eric is available but I need to update his links.
Brooke says
Great resource! Thank you! I've been looking forever for something like Database Exporter for Outlook. I was excited to see it described here, but it doesn't seem to be a compatible with Macs. Is that right? If so, is there anything similar I can use to perform these export functions on a Mac?
Diane Poremsky says
Yeah, most of the apps are for Window's Outlook. I'm not aware of anything similar for mac. Sorry.
Migel says
You also can take a look at Outlook4Gmail, I used it and liked a lot.
Heather Hammerl says
How can I set up that when I set up a meeting that it is auto accepted.
Diane Poremsky says
As in, you invite people and it's automatically accepted and added to their calendar? Those settings are beyond your control. You can only autoaccept meeting to your own calendar.
