yes. what i did for testing was, from within outlook, entered a calendar item called test. then, from within foxpro, i did the following:

#include msoutl8.h
oOutlookObj = CREATEOBJECT("Outlook.Application")
oNamespace = oOutlookObj.GetNamespace("MAPI")
fldime = oNamespace.folders("Personal Folders").folders("Calendar").folders("John")
oappt_appt = fldime.Items.Find("[subject] = Test")
STORE oappt_appt.EntryID TO entry
oappt_appt = fldime.Items.Find("[entryid] = " + entry)

now, my computer @ home has outlook2003. i just realized this and thought it might be the cause.

any ideas?
