I have created a column in a calendar list called 'Alert User'; it is not a required field; I've allowed the selection of people and groups; the problem is that it is not alerting anyone when I choose a name. Any ideas on what I'v enot enabled to get this to happen. The purpose of the field is to allow a user to alert specific users of an event.

It wouldn't be enough to just add the column. Did you also create a workflow or some other mechanism to send the actual email?--Paul Galvin, Computer Generated Solutions (CGS) Microsoft MVP - SharePoint Blogging @ http://www.mstechblogs.com/paul Twitter @ http://www.twitter.com/pagalvin

Hi, If you create some custom column(People & Group), it won't generate alerts in calender. Either you have to create workflows or some custom code to send alert emails to the users.Thanks & Regards, Neerubee

Could you please recommend a good refernce for this type of code?
