MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / April 2005Support for iCal format
As an educational institution, we try to base all our standards on open formats. I have a calender, SchoolBell (http://www.schooltool.org/schoolbell/), which support http://my.url/username/calendar.ics In SunBird I can edit this calender live, so it updates both on web and on my client. However I find sunbird a little too new yet, but it is improving. Do anybody know if there exist programs/plugins for Outlook that sports this iCal format? Outlook natively supports iCal, but can only open individual .ics files directly. For bulk .ics files, you need to load them into Outlook with the File | Import and Export command. I don't know of any iCalendar subscription based add-in for Outlook.

OK thanks. that won't help me. I was not trying to subscribe. It also need to be writable, like Sunbird does. >> Outlook natively supports iCal, but can only open individual .ics >> files directly.
