ICS import and unicode
I have OL2003 hebrew with english language pack and menus in english.
I sync my calendar with Pocket PC and the hebrew date appears as a free all day event. It was generated in the past (three years ago) by a Palm application. The hebrew dates end this week and I have a program that generates the new dates. This program generates dates in english characters and it works. I need to have the dates in hebrew characters and therefore I wish to edit the ICS file generated. I tried various programs: TextPad, Notepad, Wordpad etc... and either I get blank text or an error message from Outlook that the file is corrupt. I assume it is because of the encoding. The original ICS generated is ANSI. Outlook generates UTF-8 but if I modify it with Notepad, I get the corrupt message and with all other programs I get blanks. Is there a way to edit ICS files for unicode support?

ICS import and unicode - solution
OK, I found the solution.
The UTF-8 format is good and it works but not with Notepad! Notepad probably ads some characters that do not conform the ICS format. The file generated by the program is ANSI, I save it with TextPad as UTF-8 and then Outlook recognises the file and ads the hebrew date. As soon as I convert the dates to hebrew I will make the file available for download. "Yaacov Klapisch" wrote in message ... I have OL2003 hebrew with english language pack and menus in english.
