iCalendar .ics import into custom calendar folder?
 

Hi everyone - can anyone help me please?

I have downloaded an iCalendar .ics file containing a load of sporting
events I would like to import into Outlook 2003. I have created a new
calendar folder called "Sporting Events" I want them to go in to.

However, if I use the Import/Export wizard, then the events always go into
my default Calendar folder - not what I want.

So, I click on the box and show my "Sporting Events" folder on the screen; I
then drag the .ics file from Explorer into the "Sporting Events" folder -
again it doesn't work - only the first sporting event in the .ics file is
put into the folder.

So - is there any way of importing an .ics file which contains many events
into a calendar folder which is not the default????

Many thanks for looking!

Cheers

import into the default then drag to the other folder - if the events use a
category, group by category and drag the category or sort by modified date
(use a custom view) and drag the newly imported items to the other folder.
