I want to create an invite for the calander that is built into outlook. Basically, I just want the user to be able to click a link or press a button and the invite will open up. Can this be done in coldfusion? I could create the file from scratch using the cffile command, however what is the format of the file itself? Any one? Any one?

Thanks.

    Hmmm. Ok. I saved an invite as a .rtc.

    However. I created a link to it, and tried to open it in the browser. Unfortuatelly, that didn't work.

    I know this can be done in .asp ( just did it for a conference I was registering for. You could like the button on the web page, and an invite with the date and time opened up. I just needed to click "accept".

    Any ideas.

    For shitz and giggle.. this is the rtf code:

    {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}{\f1\fswiss\fprq2\fcharset0 System;}}
    {\colortbl ;\red0\green0\blue0;}
