The other day, a senior VP asked me how to forward his calendar to others. Well, there was no straightforward way to do this. So I worked off of a previous piece of code, did a print screen to take a snapshot of the calendar and pasted it into a memo. Place this button in the calendar view of the mail database.
Code
Declaration:
Declare Sub keybd_event Lib
"user32.dll" (Byval bVk As Integer,
Byval bScan As Integer,
Byval dwFlags As Integer,Byval
dwExtraInfo As Integer)
Sub Click(Source As Button)
Dim workspace As New NotesUIWorkspace
Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument
'copy the screen to the clipboard
keybd_event 44,0,0,0 ' PrtScn down
keybd_event 44,0,2,0 ' PrtScn up
Call workspace.ComposeDocument
( "", "", "Memo" )
Set uidoc = workspace.CurrentDocument
Call uidoc.GotoField("Body")
Call uidoc.Paste
End Sub
MEMBER FEEDBACK TO THIS TIP
The major problem in general with Prt-Scrn is that it will use the screen resolution and color quality of the screen. In my case this means that 1280 x 1024 + highest color quality (32 bits) means the size of the memo is almost 150 KB (per picture!).

Or you can simply select the calendar entry from the calendar view and use the menu options ACTION - FORWARD. The calendar entry gets included as a Rich Text item the same way the a forwarded e-mail does.

To forward a calendar entry you simply define it as a "meeting" instead of an "appointment," and depending on circumstances put the receiver into the To, CC, or BCC field. It works even for non-Notes receivers.

Starting in Notes 6 when you are in your calendar simply choose Print, Print calendar to document, Preview, then Forward.

Here's another way: Download one of the Notes Calendar Print utilities from the Lotus Sandbox. From the screen where you would normally print the calendar, select Actions, Forward to send the formatted calendar.
