Windows Calendar vs Outlook 2003
 

It's a new PC thus it has on it what it came with, I've not installed any
other versions of Outlook on it yet.

Windows Calendar vs Outlook 2003
 

I couldn't get it to work to gmail either. I'm guessing it's something with
recurring appointments or such that gmail doesn't support but I haven't
taken the time to remove recurring and appointments with attachments to
check. I've tried all the apps I know of to convert to vcal and ical and
they all fail to make a file vista calendar can read.

A converter wouldn't stop people from buying office - they still need the
other programs. There are a large # of people using outlook only because
they need a calendar and they will have a better experience with the lighter
weight vista mail and calendar.

I can't find the trial Outlook 2007 on it, but others there. I got 2003 on
my tower PC, my primary use PC.

I've tried to export to gmail as I saw one suggestion but the export is
failing here just as status bar is about 1/4" from showing it's done then
ask if I want to send error report to MS.

Yes, MS needs to make a converter but that would stop people from buying
Office 2007 I think.

Does importing Outlook Express Email & all into Vista Windows Mail work
okay? Any comments/suggestions regarding that aspect?

That was my guess to Diane, the recurring appts. of which I've a lot because
of the many doctor visits & all my wife & I have due to our health issues.
But really I never got to try to import to gmail as it never made the file
when using Export in Outlook 2003, it bombed, so I guess it was all the
recurring apts. stopping it.

I to only use Outlook for a calendar but unless a converter comes along
soon, guess if I want to use Vista's calendar, I'll need to re-enter all the
appts or move my Office 2003 to that PC.

Appreciate all you've tried.
Take care & have a good day.
