Is there a way to export my OL 2002 Calendar (from my corporate network) and
import it into my personal version of OL 2003 at home? I obviously have 2
calendars and I'd like to keep the personal one better "synched." I figure
I could just import my whole corporate calendar periodically and set it to
avoid duplications, probably to overwrite any apparent dups. Note: We access
OL on our network through Microsoft Terminal Server rather than through our
older system which actually synchronized my remote copy of OL. As it is
now, no internet no (corporate) OL.

Thanks. I was about to try one of the various add-ons when I found a way
that does it. A little awkward but it gets the job done. I export the
calendar to a folder and rename it. Then I e-mail it to my home office to
import it. Unfortunately OL deletes the *.pst file and I can't figure out
how to prevent this. SO when I export the calendar file I then rename it,
cahnging the *.pst paart to *.jwm (my initials. After e-mailing and
receiving it at the other end, I restore the suffix and then import it.
This works fairly well, except that I stil get some duplications inspite of
specifically instructing OL to overwrite any duplications. But since those
duplications show up easily if I look at the next few months in the
FullMonth view, it is easy t pick them out and delete them.

Don't export. Just copy it to a new PST, close that PST, stop and restart
Outlook, and mail the new PST.

Don't import. Open the PST with FIle>Open>Outlook Data FIle and
drag-and-drop (or copy) the calendar items from the received PST to the main
Calendar.
