In Outlook, select the “File” menu, then choose “Options“. Check the “Automatically save items that have not been sent after this many minutes:” box to enable saving to the Drafts folder. Seems like I’m not the only one in the Mac environment that is having this issue lately. I’m on a MacBook. Outlook Feedback by UserVoice. Outlook for Mac. Opening files saved by Outlook in Outlook is not a goal of Outlook. What a disgusting answer. Outlook for Mac product managers and developers should be absolutely embarrassed for their inability to delivery such a basic, essential.
Hi Everyone, I want to be able to attach.ics appointment files to emails that I send out. The appointment file needs to be generated from Excel, using data in certain cells. I have investigated trying to have Excel generate the.ics format required into a text file, to save with the.ics extension, but a few issues made it all seem too difficult. So – if I can generate an Outlook appointment, then just save it with the.ics extension – this should work. Here’s some code I have found with the bits that need changing. Code: Sub SetAppt Dim olApp As Outlook.Application Dim olApt As AppointmentItem Set olApp = New Outlook.Application Set olApt = olApp.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem) With olApt.Start = Date + 1 + TimeValue('09:00:00') ‘This should = C25 on current Worksheet (cell contents e.g.
Ok this seems to be working pretty well - apart from a very strange thing. I cannot double click on the resulting.ics file on my Desktop. An error msg appears: 'Cannot import vCalendar file'.
This is odd because if I stop the macro, by commenting out the '.SaveAs' instruction. Then save the file manually.File Save As Outlook Appointment filetype.ics to the Desktop. I can double click and open it normally. Exactly the same thing occurs if I change the file extension to.vcs. Any ideas on what's happening here? Code: Sub iCal Open 'E: profile Desktop Outlook Reminder for your course.ics' For Output As 1 Sheets('iCal').Select For Each ce In Range('A1:A' & Range('A65536').End(xlUp).Row) If ce = 'yes' Then Print #1, ce.Offset(0, 1) End If Next ce Close #1 Sheets('Invite').Select 'this code gets back to correct sheet - may not need this ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select 'this code gets back to correct cell - may not need this End SubThis writes all the data in column B, where the cell next to it (in column A) has a 'yes' entered, to an existing.ics file on my Desktop.
It just overwrites the existing one each time. On my 'iCal' worksheet I've formatted Column B with standard ical formatting (eg BEGIN:VCALENDAR etc, etc), typed 'yes' into all the relevant cells in column A and referenced out the cells that need to change (DESCRIPTION:, LOCATION:, DTSTART: etc.) The resulting.ics file can be emailed as an attachment, opened by end user, Saved and Closed into their own calendar as an appointment.
Works perfectly. I'm rubbish with VB - so no doubt this is the long way round! Hope it helps someone - as I couldn't find anything like this across the 'Net. What I'm after is akin to this but I'm trying to find something for a user: she has to send out multiple appointments ('meetings') - 1 per person - can be tens or hundreds.
At present, once she has a list of the people who will need appoitments she makes one calendar appointment per person, invites the person to the appointment. What I envisage as a way to save time would be to have a single Excel Sheet with the time slots that she's making available. She can put the names of the people against the time slots. Then I'd like a way - vba or mailmerge - to create an appointment per line item that is either sent to the person, or they can be imported to her calendar and then sent to the people as invitations.
What would you suggest as the best way/s to solve this?
