Anyone have experience importing data from Meeting Maker calendar software
into Outlook 2007? I've tried exporting my MM data in every possible format
offered, but when I try to import it into Outlook, the program won't
"recognize" the export file - no matter where I seem to save it or what
format (comma-separated, tab-separated, etc.) it's in. Tx for any advice.

What formats doe Meeting Maker support for export? What version of Outlook
are you trying to import the data into?

The version of MM I'm using (which is the most current, I believe) supports
these export formats: text, html and iCalendar.

I've created export files in each format, but when I go into Outlook 2007
and attempt to import the data, the folder(s) can't be found -- no matter
where I've saved them.

Thanks for any guidance you can offer. Sean

The "text" format is the most likely format to work. It will be either TSV
or CSV (tab- or comma-separated values). In the former case, the file's
extension should be ".txt". In the latter, it should be ".csv", Export a
sample file in the chosen format from Outlook so you know which columns and
headings Outlook expects then use Excel to manipulate the column order and
headers of the MM exported file to match what Outlook expects and you should
be good to go.
