Hi, I saw the function "Export to Outlook" on one of the reading plans I'm following. I clicked to start and it seemed to be doing something. However, nothing has appeared on my Outlook calendar.

Question is, how can Logos know where my outlook calendar is, also how does it get authority to access the calendar? Am I missing something? Big Smile

Thanks.

    A program installed on Windows can find another program by looking at the Windows registry entry for that program. Every registry entry for a program contains the install directory path. So, Logos searches the registry entry for Microsoft Office, and finds the install path for Outlook from that. 

    Which brings us to a question: where is your MS Office installed? Is it perhaps on a different drive? Sometimes a registry entry can get its install directory path screwed up. If it has, it is possible to change this by manually editing it using the Windows "regedit" feature.

    Microsoft applications have interfaces that allow other apps to interact with them. Logos can't get authority to access your calendar, but it is able to get Outlook to prompt you to ask whether you want to import the Reading Plan data.

    I don't use this feature, so I'm not sure what is supposed to happen. However, for what it's worth, I've never been able to use the copy to Word/Excel functions in Logos. It's an issue that affects a small number of users, but Faithlife haven't been able to identify the problem. It's possible your issue is related to this.

    Hi Mark, I was expecting an authorise dialog from Outlook but nothing has appeared.

    If it doesn't work for me then it doesn't work for me, not the end of the world! :)

    That isn’t going to happen, and I don’t think outlook even has that feature. When I “add to outlook” from other sources (email, web), it simply adds a calendar event. The “authorization” was you clicking on the link.
