    1. Create and save an event in Outlook.

    2. Open that event and go File > Save As to save it to your desktop in the .ics format.

    3. Open the saved file in Notepad to view the code.

    Now that you've seen what the behind-the-scenes files look like that make up the events in Outlook, you need only to use ColdFusion to create one of these files. You'll also want to place:

    <CFHEADER NAME="Content-Disposition" VALUE="inline; filename=events.vcs">
    <CFCONTENT TYPE="text/x-vcalendar">

    at the start of the CF template that creates these files.
