Listed below are several methods we've found for
publishing a weekly or monthly calendar as a Web page.
Keep in mind that sharing live calendar data within your
organization requires Microsoft Exchange Server or Outlook
98 Net Folders.
However, even if you don't have Exchange Server or Net
Folders, you should be able to take a snapshot of a
calendar and turn it into an HTML file.
In your
Calendar folder, choose File | Save As Web Page. If you
get a message that you must install the Internet Explorer Web
Publishing Wizard, you can download the wizard from the Microsoft
Download Center. It works fine on Windows 2000, even though the
page says it's for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0. (See
XCLN Save as Web
Page Feature Requires Web Publishing Wizard on Windows 2000.) It
seems to work fine on Windows XP, too.
To
use this feature to publish a calendar automatically, see
To publish an
Outlook 2000 calendar as a web page automatically for a
sample Windows Scripting Host script. This script works only
with Outlook 2000, not Outlook 2002, because Outlook 2002 does
not provide Webpub.dll as a separate component.
Outlook Calendar Template for Word
Use
the Outlook
Calendar Template for Word, then File | Save
as HTML. Since the function that builds the
calendar from your Outlook appointments is all in VBA, you
can potentially customize it to create exactly the type of
calendar you want. (HINT: Look at the Insertappointment
subroutine.) See More
on the Outlook Calendar Template.
My Outlook Calendar Template
Use
My Outlook
Calendar, then File | Save as HTML.
This is also a Word template, but enhanced with the
ability to customize color-coding, date/time formats,
calendar title, etc.

Outlook Web Access
Outlook
Web Access (OWA) allows any client with a compatible browser to
access Exchange Server folders. Exchange 2000 and later supports OWA for all calendar folders, with no
programming required.
In Exchange 5.5, it directly supports Web viewing
of only the default calendar in your mailbox, not a calendar in a public
folder. See
HOWTO- Render a Calendar To an ASP Page with CDO.
Both these books include sample ASP code to
display a publicly available calendar:
Programming
Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange -- Uses
the default Calendar folder in a mailbox with the
primary Windows NT account set to the IIS anonymous
user account (IUSR_servername) to allow anyone
to access it without logging in.
ADSI
and CDO Programming with ASP -- More advanced
application bypassing the normal CDO HTML Rendering
Engine approach as needed to build a conference room
scheduling system on top of Calendar folders in Public
Folders.
Exchange Server Links
You
can add a hyperlink such as
Outlook://Public
Folders/All Public Folders/Meeting Calendar
to your HTML document (replacing spaces
with %25%20 if your HTML editor doesn't do that for you.)
For those with the right permissions, the calendar opens
in Outlook (not in a Web page) in the last view that was
used on it.
If the calendar is in a mailbox rather
than a public folder, create a .xnk shortcut to that
folder, save that shortcut on a network drive and make a
file:// link to it in your HTML page. See Outlook
Links for more information.
