| | Works Calendar 7.0 to Windows Calendar I recently upgraded to the Vista OS from Windows XP. I used Microsoft Works Calendar 7.0 when I had XP. Now I would like to import my calendar file from the older Works into a calendar that is available to me on Vista. I have tried to import the .vcs file in to the Works 8.5 calendar, but none of the appoinments appear. Reminders will pop up from the old calendar but the objects are not shown in the calendar. What most I do to fully recover my calendar? All help is much appreciated. Dave. |

| | Re: Works Calendar 7.0 to Windows Calendar As far as I'm aware the export options in Works Calendar does not support what Windows Calendar can import which .ics. I'm afraid you might just have continue using Works which is at version 8.5. You could probably Export the Works Calendar to Microsoft Office Outlook as a text file then import it as an Outlook Calendar (.ics format) into Windows Calendar. Tip here: Export Outlook Calendar to use in Vista http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/convertics.htm Its really strange Microsoft never decided to make this easy.

| | Re: Works Calendar 7.0 to Windows Calendar Thanks for the answer on not being able to export Works calendar to Windows Calendar. I realized that my Works Calendar 7.0 data was imported somewhere on the new Vista computer. By clicking import this data transfered into Works Calendar 8.5 I now have my full calendar back in Works which is ok for what I need. Your info sent me on the right track.
