Hello,


i got following problem...

An application exports some events to an ICal or VCal File.
Now i want to import this file to Outlook by the import/export function.
The events are displayed correctly.

But when I try to synchronize my Outlook with my pocket pc all events are
displayed as all day events.

How do I synchronize the events correctly.

Thanks for help

Hallo,

Thanks for the link. Now I know what to do. But it is a little bit
difficult. I got to import nearly 150 Appointments per day to Oulook. There
must be a better solution for this problem.


Maybe I could write a little Outlook Macro, witch "saves" every appointment
directly in Outlook. Perhaps you could paste some sample souce code.
I would be deeply grateful.
This would solve a second problem too. No duplicates.

Open VCS File ==>
For Each VEVENT ==>
Check if VEVENT is allready saved ==>
if false ==> save VEVENT ==>
if true ==> Check if VEVENT is updated ==>
if true ==> save VEVENT ==>
esle NEXT VEVENT ==>
Next VEVENT
Close VCS File

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Yes it would be a good idea to make a macro save every single appointment
reading the vcs file. But unfortunately it isn't easy since reading the
date fields can be a little tricky. Refer to the following MSKB doc for
more information.

Either way, drop me a mail, I might have a solution/utility in a few days
time.
