The Works Calendar will export to a tab-separated values text file and
Outlook can import that type of file. Works can also export a vCalendar
file which Outlook may be able to handle; it can import from a vCalendar
file, but I don't know how many items at a time. You'll have to test it.

I, too, am attempting to do this. I exported into a tab-separated file from
Works Calendar. All went well. Then I went to Outlook, and indicated I was
importing from a tab-separated file, and made the selection to import into
Calendar. It allowed me to select my file, but then I couldn't go any further
-- The Next button was greyed out. (I'm using Outlook 97). Thanks for any
advice you can provide.

Upgrade - Outlook 97 has been out of mainstream support for years, is buggy as all getout and does not support many of the common features of current mail programs.

Milly - You were right. I upgraded my Outlook to 2002 version. The import
went smoothly after that. Thanks for responding .... Jan
