transferring contents of a calendar to another calendar
WinXP Pro SP2
MS Outlook 2003 SP3 Hi, I have two pst files each with their own contacts, tasks, and calendar. I've been able to transfer my contacts and tasks from one pst file to the other simply by selecting all and dragging to the contacts and tasks folders in the other opened data file. I can't copy/transfer the contents of the calendar though because there's no option to show the entire calendar and select all (unlike with contacts and tasks). How do I copy/transfer or move the contents of the calendar (on one pst/data file) to the calendar (of another pst/data file)? I see that there's a "copy" option when I right click on a calendar but it just creates a copy of the entire calendar folder into the other data file resulting in two calendars in the destination data file. I want the contents to be copied. I don't want to create another calendar. I thought I could copy the calendar to the destination data file, name it calendar1, then delete calendar (in the destination data file), then rename calendar1 to calendar. But, that's not allowed. MSO says Calendar is a special something and therefore cannot be deleted. I know I can export my MSO data to a file and then import into the other pst/data file but I'm asking for another way because I remember that an MVP on this board previously said that it's not recommended to export and import files because the files get corrupted (or something, can't really remember his exact words. All I'm absolutely sure of is that he didn't recommend exporting/importing MSO data). Thank you. Matty |

transferring contents of a calendar to another calendar
There's a way, go to Calendar View first, then from VIEW MENU, select
ARRANGE BY, CURRENT VIEW, by EVENTS. Then just highlight all entries and select COPY. From the new calendar, select PASTE. That should do it for you. "Matty" wrote in message ...

transferring contents of a calendar to another calendar
Thank you. I tried this before (arranging by events) but noticed that it
didn't list ALL events. Anyway, I still did it your way except that I had to do it four times in order to transfer all events. I had to: 1. arrange by events, copy/drag to other calendar 2. arrange by recurring events, copy/drag to other calendar 3. arrange by active appointments, copy/drag to other calendar 4. arrange by category, copy/drag to other calendar I'm still curious (but no big deal. I can sleep ) though about why arranging by "events" didn't list ALL events (based on the fact that even after selecting all and copying/dragging everything, I still got items listed when I clicked on arrange by "recurring events," "active appointments," and "category."

transferring contents of a calendar to another calendar
Matty, I didn't know by Events doesn't include all calendar entries. I
didn't check when I did it for few users but I never heard anything back from them so I thought I did okay. Thanks for the heads up. "Matty" wrote in message ... Thank you.
