If the user has the vCard applications installed, the mime type will be
supported in the browser.  So, write the vCard to a file then a
cflocation.

I don't have Outlook installed here so this code may need massaging, I hope it
is self documenting enough to point you in the right direction:

<!--- set up the calendar variables (start/end time, summary, description,
priority and a file name --->
<cfset vCalendar                = StructNew()>
<cfset vCalendar.StartDateTime     = "09/01/2006 08:00 AM">
<cfset vCalendar.EndDateTime     = "09/01/2006 08:00 AM">
<cfset vCalendar.Summary         = "Meeting">
<cfset vCalendar.Description    = "All hands meeting, pizza provided">
<cfset vCalendar.Priority        = 3>
<cfset vCalendar.FileName        = "MyCalendarReminder.vcs">

<!--- create the calendar file contents --->
<cfoutput>
<cfsavecontent variable="vCalendar.Content">
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:1.0
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:#DateFormat(vCalendar.StartDateTime,
"yyyymmdd")#T#TimeFormat(vCalendar.StartDateTime, "hhmmss")#Z
DTEND:#DateFormat(vCalendar.EndDateTime,
"yyyymmdd")#T#TimeFormat(vCalendar.EndDateTime, "hhmmss")#Z
TRANSP:1
SUMMARY:#vCalendar.Summary#
DESCRIPTION:#vCalendar.Description#
PRIORITY:#vCalendar.Priority#
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
</cfsavecontent>
</cfoutput>

<!--- write the file contents as a csv file to the server --->
<cffile action="WRITE" file="#ExpandPath(vCalendar.FileName)#"
output="#Trim(vCalendar.Content)#">

<!--- link to the created file --->
<cfoutput>
<a href="#vCalendar.FileName#">#vCalendar.FileName#</a>
</cfoutput>
