Any ideas on how to do the following?
From a link on a web page that indicates a date and subject, create or invoke the creation of a new calendar entry in the users Notes Calendar for that date/subject.
From my investigation, Notes does not support this type of linking as native function. If notes:// links could accept input parameters, this would be easy, but it doesn’t 
There is a product called Infuzer (free for personal non-commercial use) that provides a way to do this - though I can not use this in my solution. http://www.infuzer.com/IDC/register/index.jsp
Any idea how infuzer might be interfacing with Notes? Any suggestions on a solution to perform the function described?
Thanks!
Subject: Invoke new calendar entry from link on web page
If we can assume that Domino is accessible via HTTP, that the events page is on a Domino server (or that the user is logged into Domino) you can create a link to an agent that creates the calendar entry. The HREF would look something like this:
http://server/path/db.nsf/CreateCalendarEntry?OpenAgent&Event=Your%20Event%20Title&Date=24/01/2008&StartTime=xx:xx&EndTime=yy:yy&Login
The user’s canonical name is available using session.EffectiveUserName, you can look up the mail database, and the event details are in the URL query string.

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately those are not valid assumptions in this case. Assumptions are:1. User’s calendar is accessible via Notes Client only - not web enabled.
- The events listing is not domino either (it’s actually in a JSR168 portlet).
I think the above solution would also require that the suggested agent have access to write to the users Mail DB… not possible in this case either - can’t require the user to update their ACL.
That’s the challenge! Any suggestions are appreciated!

The user’s calendar (mail database) does not need to be web-enabled. The agent can live in any database, so as long as the server is http-accessible, the link can work.
It doesn’t matter, really, where the events web page is housed, as long as the link points to the agent on the Domino server and requires a user login (the &Login query string param forces that).
Users don’t have a whole lot of choice about their database ACLs, really, but just in case that’s a tinfoil-hat problem in your organisation, your agent can always mail the calendar entry to them as an invitation.
