Hey Paul, Thanx for sending that new version with the checkbox! Unfortunately I am getting the same behavior with the new exported file, as mentioned below, when attempting to import into Outlook 2003. I kind of expected this as I had already saved the previous file in MS PC format with no success. I wish I knew why Outlook was choking on this file. I have gone through the file and saved into PC format again. I have removed a number of fields. All to the exact same effect. I even removed ALL events except one with the same error. I think Outlook just doesn't want us Exporting or Importing data. Just use their crack, and only their crack.
