I self would suggest: a. look for new appointment my table without a outlook.entryID and send it to outlook b. look for appointment in my table with status "deleted" and detect them in outlook and delete there c. look at table and outlook and update the one with the oldest modificationdate/time d. look at outlook (deleted items) and delete those in the table do I miss something or is this the wrong method ?? anyone who can confirm that this is the correct way to do it? I googled, but didn't find any good article... regards and thanks in advance...

To catch the deleted items, you pretty much have to rescan the whole folder. EX provider allows to replay all the changes to folders/messages without rescanning, but the relevant interfaces are not exposed by the PST provider. Secondly, have you looked at the existing products, such as IntelliSync? You can create your own provider dll to interface with your DB, IntelliSync will them takee care of synchronizing with Outlook, Lotus Notes, Groupwise, etc. Dmitry Streblechenko (MVP) http://www.dimastr.com/ OutlookSpy - Outlook, CDO and MAPI Developer Tool "Erik" <bellaard (AT) wega (DOT) nl> wrote in message news:44c75793 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

It can only handle the common calendar databases, like outlook. How can I add my own provider dll (and what must be in it?). At this moment I use the evaluation copy of Intellisync.
