I think i've got it Ben but i'll write the code in the new year as my other half will murder me if i spend anymore time on the computer and thanks for the help with the emails - they work a treat and are triggered from user intervention as well as some buttons i created on the admin pages on my website. It's makes work so much easier.
With regards to the the calender file i'm going to put some code in so when a particular email is sent it creates a new iCal file with all the needed fields for outlook to read it properly and then populate the fields from the record that was selected when the email is sent. Then the file just needs to be sent as an attachment (i'm thinking of using swiftmailer as i believe you can send attachments with it easily).
I'll let you know how i go but i got a feeling its going to be relatively easy now i have a plan
