Greetings,
What would cause saving some Outlook calendar items in iCal format for uploading to a web calendar to fail? Some items are saved and uploaded with no problem, and some result in an 'operation failed' message and a 0-length file created. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks Larry S |

What nuggets do you wish to have gleaned for you?
I have two versions of Outlook, 2000 and 2002. Saving an event as an iCal fails in both versions. No obvious differences between events that fail and the events that work. It would be helpful if you could tell me what clues you are needing. Thank you. Larry S "Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]" wrote in message ...

Outlook versions for one - thanks for that much. What text format are you
using for the items? Outlook Rich Text? How are you saving them? What versions of Outlook are trying to download them? Any common denominator in that scenario? -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Milly and Diane,
The export text format is iCal (eventname.ics), via 'file / save as'. The failing items are single and not recurring (I haven't tried them as yet) events. They to be uploaded to a web calendar provided by k5n (http://www.k5n.us/webcalendar.php). However, I never get that far: Outlook fails on the saving of the item to a folder for later importing to the web diary. I cannot think of any common denominator: the items are essentially the same (one- or two-hours, with event name and location, but same category and label). Only difference I can think of is that the few that failed are Sunday events, and the ones that worked are weekday events. Hope this helps.
