Convert Calendar Data to Outlook2003

Convert Calendar Data to Outlook2003

by  james33  Posted    (Edited  )
Dear All,

Arndt N°rgaard has discovered a way to convert calendar Data from Sidekick 98 into Outlook200-2003!

Make a new SK98 Calendar report *.rpt with all the appointments which involves opening the Calendar in Sidekick and then going to:
Report|Calendar and then tick all the boxes and all those on the flyout by clicking on Options.

Copy and Paste the Report into an Excel spreadsheet and name the fields you want to convert into Outlook.

Then open Outlook 2003 and Import appointments from the Excel file.
Tasks and goals works pretty much the same way .
You can also convert SK98 goals /Tasks into Outlook 2000
The tricky part is to convert all the notes attached to those Appointments.
For Arndt it took 5 hours of copying then pasting!

Any additions to this method will be appreciated and acknowledged.

Regards to all and thank you to Arndt!
