Mornin', all

I'm using the following *.ics file to add multiple dates to iCalendar apps. such as Outlook and iCal. It works fine with iCal but willonly add the first date to Outlook - can anyone see where I'm going wrong? Also, being as this is my first time working with *.ics files, any tips as to things I should be doing differently or adding to the file would be much appreciated

Hi Shaggy,

well, it's quite easy to find a path.

First of all what is the Outlook version that you are importing? Cause older versions do not import multiple events in one file.

That said, you can use is Outlook 2 iCal to export multiple events and then see how the file was builed... change and import again and see if you can import multiple events.

if you can do this, then you have the source file to tell you how can you accomplish it

hope it helps<

I'm not sure that I've included every parameter you have in your one but this one worked for me.

Can't help either, never had to deal with that.<

I wish I could help, but this is one of those things that's been on my "I need to learn but I haven't had the time" list. When I get to the point where I need to implement this I'll need to figure out the same thing since we only use Outlook/Exchange in the Hospital.<
Shaggy Posted - 29 October 2008 : 08:11:42
Sorry to bump but I'm launching this site tomorrow evening and, after a good bit of Googling, I'm no closer to figuring out what's wrong.
