iCal import fails
Hi there,
I'm trying to import an iCal file that I have produced with some C# code. When I try to do this Outlook says "Can't copy the items. Cannot import vCalendar file." I'm running Outlook 2003 SP3. The file looks like this: BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 METHOD:PUBLISH PRODID:-//My Company//My Product iCal API//EN BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20060228T142421Z DTSTART:20060228T130000Z DTEND:20060228T140000Z SUMMARY:what a title DESCRIPTION:this is my description END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR Any idea what could be wrong? cheers, Otto

Saving that data to an ICS or VCS file on my machine it opens as an Outlook
appointment just fine. "Otto" wrote in message ups.com... Hi there, I'm trying to import an iCal file that I have produced with some C# code. When I try to do this Outlook says "Can't copy the items.

iCal import fails
Thanks for the reply. It looks like it must have been the encoding of
the file. When I converted it to ANSI (original was UTF-8) it imports ok.

it seems like outlook barfs on the bom (ef bb bf) of utf files. if the
file is utf-8 encoded but lacks these bytes the import works.
