I'm trying to import Excel data into Outlook 2003 calendar, but when I click
on "Import from another program or file," Excel doesn't show up on the list.
I've re-loaded Outlook...made sure that the Excel translator is
installed...and done everything else I can think of...but the only programs
listed are Act, comma-separated value, dBase, ECCO, and Lotus Notes.  Can
anyone help? This is a re-post from an earlier post, as the first one doesn't
appear in the Discussion Group threads. Thanx!

Use the Office installation wizard to add the Excel importers and exporters.

No need to repost - I was still watching your original post.

You never bothered to answer the first diagnostic question I asked you. Here
it is again. Are your copies of Excel and Outlook the same verion eg 2003 or
2007?

How did you go running diagniostics?

Here are some tips about how to post questions:

Sorry, Judy...for some reason, I was never notified of any responses (even
tho I checked "Notify me of replies.")  OK: both Excel and Outlook are 2003,
purchased as part of Office XP Professional.  I did not run any specific
diagnostics other than checking Help files on both Outlook & Excel, and
checking the MS support pages and the discussion groups. However, here's what
I did: ran "Detect & Repair" from Outlook; then inserted the Office disc and
from Setup, checked the "Add & Remove Features" to make certain the Outlook
translators were installed (which they were). Also ran "Repair Office."  
Nothing made any difference at all.

Office XP versions are all 2002.  Office 2003 versions are all 2003.  Please clarify.

As a temporary workaround, can you save the Excel sheet as a Comma Seperated
Value (*.CSV) file and try importing that file?

Never thought of that, John...I'll try it! (I've also ordered Office 2007,
which should hopefully solve the problem. We'll see........)

Sorry, Milly...that was a typo. Should be Office XP 2002.
