POHow do I get Outlook to process an event update?
text
Body
copied!<p>I am trying to create, update and delete an event in Outlook 2007 (but optimally it would work for all versions). Creating and deleting the event is working fine. I followed <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1100821/does-outlook-2003-support-ical-2-0-spec-for-updating-and-deleting-a-calendar-item">several</a> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45453/icalendar-and-event-updates-not-working-in-outlook">threads</a> but for some reason the update action failed.</p> <p>When I double click on the ICS file, Outlook opens a window and the only choice I have is to delete. But the event it wants to delete is not the old one but the new one (even if it's not created yet). So when I click delete the old event remains here.</p> <p>The UID is the same, sequence has been increase by 1, DTSTAMP in newer.</p> <p>First event:</p> <pre><code>BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Blatant Media Corporation//Absorb LMS//EN VERSION:2.0 METHOD:PUBLISH BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20101111T13000000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20101111T14000000Z UID:AbsorbClass150180 DESCRIPTION:A nov session for demoing only\n\nVenue:\nBoardroom 123\n\nInstructor:\nMike Owens\n\nCourse Description:\nInstructor Led Training (ILT) topic: First Aid\n\n------------------\nAbsorb Anywhere\nhttp://www.absorbtraining.com LOCATION:Boardroom 123 SUMMARY:First Aid: Nov DTSTAMP:20101107T15353400Z LAST-MODIFIED:20101107T15353400Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR </code></pre> <p>Updated event:</p> <pre><code>BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Blatant Media Corporation//Absorb LMS//EN VERSION:2.0 METHOd:REQUEST BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20101111T15000000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20101111T16000000Z UID:AbsorbClass150180 DESCRIPTION:A nov session for demoing only\n\nVenue:\nBoardroom 123\n\nInstructor:\nMike Owens\n\nCourse Description:\nInstructor Led Training (ILT) topic: First Aid\n\n------------------\nAbsorb Anywhere\nhttp://www.absorbtraining.com LOCATION:Boardroom 123 SUMMARY:First Aid: Nov DTSTAMP:20101108T15353400Z LAST-MODIFIED:20101108T15353400Z ORGANIZER:Owens SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR </code></pre>
