I’m generating ICalendar (.ics) files.
Using the UID and SEQUENCE fields I can update existing events in Google Calendar and in Windows Calendar BUT NOT in MS Outlook 2007 – it just creates a second event
How do I get them to work for Outlook ?
Thanks
Tom

In summary you have to specify
METHOD:REQUESTandORGANIZER:xxxxxxxxin addition to
UID: andSEQUENCE:For a cancellation you have to specify
METHOD:CANCELRequest/Update Example
