I have a ton of information in CSV format that I exported from FMNOT, and I
can't see how to get it into Windows Calendar..

Ok, I have downloaded it and tried it, but it didn't seem to import the csv
file with all my info.

I tried to import the csv file, no errors nothing.

I entered a BD and then exported the file.

Only the entered items showed up.

All entries show up in Excell when I open the csv file I exported from fmnot.

Ok, I see. The formats are different, so Sunbird can use my data from fmnot.
I was hoping there was a program that would accept it so I wouldn't have to
input all of it again.

Re: Forget Me Not

There's a roundabout way.....
Windows Calendar can only import .ics (not .csv or .pst)

Create a calendar on Gmail.com
import the CSV file to Google calendar
export to .ics file (use the Help for these two steps, as it's not
straightforward)

Windows Calendar:
import the .ics file

CACARD

Hi Ben:
I have been using Creatacard Plus for ages and the Forget Me Notes are just like my bible. My aunt recently bought a laptop with VISTA. I was able to successfully install (I did the full install which means you don't need to put the CD in each time..the instructions are on the readme file on the CD) it on her laptop but have run into 2 snags. It can't find Swiss 721 SAW font (I think that's it) and I can't seem to get her csv file over. I know that when I installed Windows XP on my computer, I found where the data file was and instead of trying to import it, I just copied the file and stuck it into the Creatacard file on Windows XP. It has worked fine since. Have you solved your issue yet? Perhaps this will help.
Cheers
Hilary
