Hi

I am maintaining a shared Google calendar which controls bookings for our
local village hall.  I want to be able export the Google calendar into
Outlook 2003, which I can do using the ical link within the Google calendar.

However, when I import it into Outlook, Outlook does recognise a duplicate
entry, and only import new ones.  It imports the whole lot!  The result is
that every time I do an import I get a new duplicate entry for every calendar
entry.

Is there any way of making Outlook update rather then re-import?

Edit the ics file with Notepad and remove the entries you have already.

Hi Brian

Thanks for the idea, but editing it is almost impossible, as there are so
many entries.  I have looked in Notepad but I cannot see an easy way of
removing everything but the updated entry.

It seems a shame that there is not a replace/add/overwrite function in
Outlook.

Yours

Geoff
