Is there a way to open a modern Microsoft List Calendar in Outlook?
I have created a new calendar using Microsoft Lists. I have created this using the standard Event content type. Is there a way to get this calendar to open in Outlook. If I was using the old Sharepoint style views I could use the "Connect to Outlook" button.
There are some lists that can automatically sync with Outlook, which are Calendar List, Task List and Contact List. However, currently there is no method to connect normal list to outlook.

I'm trying to display all events that appear on SharePoint calendar on Outlook by using the Connect to Outlook option on SharePoint, but after syncing the calendar on Outlook the event descriptions are all blank as shown below:
Can someone please check and help me with what might be causing this sync issue when I try to connect to Outlook from Sharepoint? The event descriptions are appearing correctly in Sharepoint.
Do you mean that event descriptions are not shown in the outlook like below? As per my test, only event titles can be shown in Outlook. I'm afraid it is by design.
Currently, I have the Excel VBA code that will construct and send an Outlook email from Excel. However, I need to be able to use this VBA to open an Outlook form template that contains a command button and update the body of the message. I have been searching non-stop and cant find any good resources for accomplishing this, any good pointers, links, or supporting code would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You can save the form as a Microsoft Outlook template file (.oft), and then e-mail that file to users. If the form contains code or custom fields, the recipient will not be able to simply open the .oft file and publish it. The recipient will need to save the .oft file to the local drive, run it with the Tools | Forms | Choose Form command, and then publish the form to the Personal Forms Library.
Alternatively, you can use an .fdm file to install a form manually, see OL2000: How to Move a Custom Form to Another Computer.
Read more about Outlook forms in the To distribute Microsoft Outlook forms to other users article.
As a workaround you may consider creating a COM add-in with rich UI options which can be installed on the recipient's side and do whatever you need for users. See Walkthrough: Create your first VSTO Add-in for Outlook for more information.
I have created a couple of sharepoint lists, one that uses a lookup on the document library to link multiple documents to a list item. The other list is to create tiled links that link to documents, again in the document library.
I am using Sharepoint as part of Office 365
The problem I have is that opening the documents from these lists open in the browser instead of the client application (usually Excel), the spreadsheets are too complex for the browser based version of Excel so I need them to always open in the client application.
So far, I have set the default open option for the document library (Documents Settings > Advanced Settings) for the master site and subsite to Open in Client application by default; obviously this works for the document library, but doesn't work for the lists.
Searched for ages on this problem and either nobody has it or people that do this aren't bothered by documents opening in the browser. Would be greatful for any help on this, or if you can think of a better way to do it....
You could export list items to excel file (List ribbon -> Export to excel) and then upload that excel file to some document library.
Then, the users would open the excel file from the library and they would need to refresh the data from excel, by clicking Data ribbon -> Refresh All
That is the closest that you can do with opening list items with excel without any programming.
Please note that users will have to be logged in to SharePoint and have the Read permissions in SharePoint list in order to Refresh the data.
I have a problem with the SharePoint and Outlook calendar synchronization. When I drag and drop an appointment or meeting from outlook calendar into SharePoint calendar, I can see that it is appeared on SharePoint calendar. Till this, I am good.
But, when I update the calendar item in outlook and sync both the calendars again, I don't see the updated on SharePoint calendar. Same issue with vice versa.
Can any one please help me if you had run into this sort of scenario.
Thanks in advance for your help!!
Thanks
This is expected. When you drag an item from a SharePoint calendar to an Outlook calendar, this is a very simple copy. There is no link between the two items. If you change the Outlook appointment, it will not update SharePoint. In other words, the two appointments act independently of each other.
We have been working on an Outlook add-in to solve this issue. The add-in called, ProperSync, allows direct syncing between Outlook calendars and SharePoint. You can find more information at www.propersync.com
Edit:
As a new feature in ProperSync 1.3 (beta now available) users can connect their Outlook calendar directly with a SharePoint calendar. This links the appointments directly. There is no need to drag and drop, just setup the connection and the appointment in Outlook is the same in SharePoint.
Here is a simple video demo - http://youtu.be/6l6mEsqrutU

I am using SHarepoint Workspace 2010. I was wondering if there was any way to somehow make the workspace (or even the site) work with Outlook and save emails in the document repository?
If you want to drag and drop email into any SharePoint 2010 library, SharePoint 2010 allows this out-of-the-box by selecting "Open with Explorer" from the "Connect & Export" section in the Library Tools ribbon in the applicable library. This will open a browser window, into which you may either drag/drop or copy/paste from your outlook window.
This method is exceptionally helpful when you DON'T want to set up the library to receive email.
For this, you have to integrate your outlook with sharepoint.You need to create a list, which will be seen at your outlook as well. Now when you want to send emails you have to save them in the list as well. So your emails will be saved in the sharepoint list.
There is no way of doing it. If you want to share your e-mail with broader audience you can move it to the Outlook public folder.
You could create a list which accepts emails like a discussion and setup an email address for the list in the settings. Then you can go to your Outlook and set up rules to forward emails to the list which fit a certain criteria.
Also, when viewing a list, you should be able to sync with Outlook (Connect to Outlook button) which would allow you to view it in Outlook.
Try Colligo Contributor Pro. It's an alternative for the old fashioned Sharepoint Workspace. You can do everything you want:
add all kind of files to Sharepoint
sync when you want
add emails to your Sharepoint and open them later with your mail program
add Sharepoint libs to your Outlook and sync them
For drag and drop of emails from Outlook to SharePoint we are using SharePoint Outlook Integration tool. PageLight also offers Save Outlook emails to SharePoint functionality
