How to Programmatically Access Contents of a Table in an Outlook Invite

Hi all,

I'm working on a project where I need to somehow access the contents of a table embedded in an Outlook invite programmatically. If it were in an email, I'd be dealing with an object of the class "MailItem" and I could call HTMLBody and use the "table" tags to get the contents. However, to my knowledge, no similar functionality exists for "AppointmentItem" objects. I know that there is the "RTFBody" function for MailItems, but I'm completely at a loss as to how to get the contents of the table using RTF and Google isn't very helpful on this front. For my purposes, the table in the Outlook invite can either be an embedded Excel Worksheet object, or simply a table you can insert by going to Insert | Table.

My end goal is to get the contents of tables embedded in a shared team calendar and send them to an Excel worksheet where I've built a dashboard of meetings my team has. The contents of the tables embedded in the Outlook invites on the team calendar have datapoints that I'd like to have show up dynamically in the dashboard. Everything is working fine with the exception of this one roadblock I'm at.

Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated - Thanks!
