Copy Microsoft Outlook Calendar folderHi!
I've just set up an Excahnge Server infrastructure. On my client desktop, I have Microsoft Outlook 2003 instaled. I wish to move all the items of the Microsoft Outlook Calendar folder still in the Personal Folder (old POP e-mail account) to the new Calendar folder in the Microsoft Exchange Server account. Is there an easy way to do that? The right-click copy Calendar option creates a new calendar folder named Calendar1 and I wish to have the items in the "real" Exchange Server account Calendar folder. Help appreciated. Nicolas Nicolas Macarez wrote:

Click on the Calendar folder in your PST file 2. Select View, Arrange By, Current View, By Category 3. If you don't have any categories (i.e. everything is in "none"), collapse the list by clicking on the minus sign button next to "Categories (none)". Repeat for any additional categories you may have. 4. Drage the now collapsed category to the your new Calendar folder in the Navigation Pane. Repeat for any additional categories you may have. Notes: If the Navigation Panel isn't visible, click on "View", "Navigation Pane". If the new Calendar folder is scrolled out of view when you click on the old Calendar folder, just use the scroll bar to move it into view. I hope this helps!

Unless I'm using exmerge. This looks like what I am trying to do. I can open a calendar on my memory
stick, but then I want to copy or move it to a place where I can use Microsoft ActiveSynch to synchronise it with my PDA. Can you advise how to do that, please?

I have to delete all the existing
entries in a calendar before copying the new ones in. As it deletes meeting requests from other people it asks me, one by one, whether I want to inform the meeting organiser, and as the default is "yes" I have to select "no" on each one. I have looked unsuccessfully for a setting whereby either it defaults to "no", or the question is not asked? Are you aware of one?

Are you aware of one? which would be to switch the delivery location of Outlook to the PST containing the secondary calendar (the one one the memory stick), sync the PDA, then switch the delivery location back again. If you're not using Exchange, this will avoid the need to empty the default calendar, producing your messages. You just tell Outlook to ignore that calendar for a time. -- Brian Tillman Even if I close the default calendar and open the secondary one the PDA
synchronises with the default calendar. Is switching the delivery location a different process? Also, I now have several old calendars in various personal folders which I am unable to delete from Outlook - is there a way of finding their file locations so I can delete them from Explorer? I really appreciate your help here - many thanks. Show quote "Brian Tillman" wrote: > RogerUK <Roge***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > > > This is just what I needed and works well.

I really appreciate your help here - many thanks. mail profile. You'll corrupt the mail profile. In fact, I'd say you may have done so already. Right-click the root of one of the unwanted Personal Folders files and choose Close. If it won't, click File>Data File Management and see if you can remove it there. If not, you do have a corrupt mail profile and you'll need to create another. http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/newprofile.htm -- Brian Tillman  |
