File maker pro vs office 2002

[seadooman]

Im using file maker pro to set and print court calenders but i would like to use office 2k so i could use my outlook calender. Is this possible?

Anything's possible... but you haven't given nearly enough information to provide a definative answer. If you're keeping court data in a database for recall at a later time then Office2K is not the tool (unless you get the version with MS Access, and even then, you'll have a lot of reprogramming ahead of you.) Can I suggest that you create a PDF from your Filemaker output and then you can pass it through OE.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

From what you've provided, it seems to me that Excel would be the easiest.
