What I would do: create the calendar in Sharepoint and connect it to
outlook. Move all the public folder events to the sharepoint folder in
outlook so they will sync up to the sharepoint server. Assign the PF email
address to the sharepoint calendar so events can be emailed to it or, if I
needed both for some reason (or the mail domain for sps was different than
for the public folders), set up the PF to forward the events to sharepoint.

Hi Diane, just to make sure I understand, are you saying the only way to use
an existing calendar is to do this via rules, sending invites to another
calendar that was created in Sharepoint?
I appreciate your help.

Yes. AFAIK, the only way to sync with sharepoint is using the sharepoint
pst. You can't link public folders or personal folders to sharepoint
calendars. (You can export but then sharepoint won’t update)
There may be 3rd party tools that will allow syncing, but I don't know of
any.

I am able to export an Putlook Calendar to an xls. Do the required junk in excel (select the cells to import, click insert->name->define, create name range for selected cells. I then go to Sharepoint (2003) and click create->import Spreadsheet. Once the data is imported the resulting list looks good. I then go and create a Calendar view of the list, which is not an issue, but when I go to view the calendar all of the scheduled events appear on the same calendar day (the day the list was imported). The thing is, all of the dates in the actual list appear to be correct. Now when I go to modify the list there is nothing that lets me determine which field the list data should be displayed according to.
Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
Regards,
Kyle

I would verify the dates are actually dates (not text) and are imported into
the date field, not another field or ignored completely.
Which version of Outlook?
