MS Outlook 2003 has some support for ical v 2.0 (rfc2445), but does not support any/many recurring events. MS Outlook 2000, and 2003 do not support "subscription to ical calendars" (meaning, you download and import, but it is your job to manually download and import each time.) MS Outllok 2003 has poor/no support for VTIMEZONE from rfc2445. citation (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050504224709452) though it appears part of this problem has to do with many VTIMEZONEs use recurring events for accurate DST resolution and GMT offsets based on selected date, and workarounds are clunky at best.) Some people have sought work-arounds. ---------------- Old version of Outlook maybe??

Thats all. I am pretty sure thats its about microformats, so out of curosity I want to import into outlook, which is the default client on my LT. It pops up the window for ih-events.ics and then when I say open, I get the err msg outlook failed to open events.ics or something like this. Now, I am not a technical person in terms of understanding everthing. I am just an curious - early adopter, who belives when he reads "add these events to your calendar" it should be a simple one click process. I will later check if this works, when outlook client is opened. Chris,I just click on the link. Thats all.
