  • Thread-topic: scripting Entourage shared calendar



Does anyone know how to add events to a shared exchange calendar?

I'm able to add events via applescript when I am using the account to which the calendar belongs but when trying to script it via another user account which has access privileges I can't figure out how to refer to the shared calendar.  I can't seem to get the calendar id of the shared calendar so I can refer to it.

With an exchange calendar which is NOT being shared I can just refer to it by calendar id which can be obtained by using--

set theCals to every calendar of Exchange account "account name"

--shared calendar id's are NOT returned with this command because they belong to a different Exchange account?  How can I refer to a shared calendar which shows up as a calendar beneath a second Exchange Account icon inside of my Entourage exchange account underneath the calendar tab?

Or I suppose another way to get the calendar id might be to get the calendar id of of a selected event.

The script below returns the event id of an event on the shared exchange account calendar for which I am trying to find the calendar id.  Is there a way to get the calendar id of the event id is known?

Thanks.



tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
try
(*get the currently selected event(s)

(in calendar or custom view) *)

set theEvents to (get selection)

if theEvents = {} or class of (item 1 of theEvents) is not event then error number -128

on error

(*if there are no events selected, or the first item selected

is not a calendar event, warn the user and then quit*)

beep 2

display dialog "First select an event in the calendar or" & "a custom view. Then try again" buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1 with icon 0

end try
return calendar ID of theEvents???

end tell
