Entering a date from Access to Outlook Calendar

[gbucknall]

I have developed an Access database which keeps track of items we have received. What I want to do is enter a date in a field and then by clicking a button that date and the name of the item gets enetered into my Outlook calendar so that it will pop up a reminder on that date.
I have no idea if/how this can be done. Any ideas or examples very much appreciated.

IIRC (but it has been a while since I did something with outlook, using Lotus now) the mails and calander are tables you can link and add information to as you see fit.

You would need to connect to the Outlook Object (a SendObject will not do this). For an example on how to connect to the Outlook object, follow this link. I don't specifically go into how to connect to the calendar in Outlook through Access, but the example provided will connect to and then send an email out of Access. The calendar connectivity works in a similar fashion.
