I'm using Office XP. Apparently imported times are read as Greenwich Mean
Time. In order to import a vcs file with the correct times I either have to
1) Manually edit the vcs file or 2) Correct the times after they are imported.

I have an entire calendar with several hundred entries in the time it takes
to manually edit I could have entered them all by hand which defeats the
purpose. I see that there was a fix for Outlook 2000. Do we XP users not
matter?

Outlook should have no problem interpreting the time zone correctly from a .vcs file. Maybe you could post an example that you're having problems with.
