Is it possible to automate the importation of an ICalendar file using VisualBasic? If so, how is it done??
 
It's possible, but there is no easy, native way to do it. You would need to do one of two things: find a third party library that does it, or write your own set of routines that open the file and parse it into meaningful chunks.

A google for "icalendar vb6" turns up a few pre-built libraries (the one I looked at was ~$300). I also found the specs for it linked from wikipedia. There should be enough information there to use msxml2.0 to load it up and begin parsing it.
