Do not multi-post. See your answer in microsoft.public.outlook.calendaring.

| What I am looking for is a freeware program that would allow you to create 
a
| file of a schedule that can be imported into just about any calendar, but 
in
| particular, MS-Outlook.  Other calendars could include, but not be
| exclusive... the calendar extension for Mozilla's Firefox and Thunderbird.
| Also, I think MSN and Yahoo have calendars... but also things like PDMs.
|
| Example.
| Suppose you wanted your local high school football schedule.  On the high
| school's home page, they would have "this" file that you could download 
and
| then import into your calendar.  In my case, Outlook.
|
| In this idea program, I'd want to cherrypick a little.  Maybe download
| selected games... like home games only... etc.
|
| Another example.
| I am an alcoholic.  In my metro community, there are 150 weekly AA 
meetings.
| I manually added the meetings that I normally go to, but I wouldn't mind 
if
| all meetings could be imported from one file.
|
| In the ideal, ideal world, I'd want this amazing program to import a file
| and first delete all previous weekly AA meetings and then import the new
| file.  In other words, if a meeting is discontinued or information is
| changed, I don't want the old information out there.
|
| Again, in this "idealistic" program, I'd want to add things like "type of
| meeting", instructions for parking and directions in the given building.
| Also, if it is an organization, the appointment information could include 
a
| link to the organization's home page for more details.
|
| Oh ya, one more thing.  I'd want to be able to "show time as" -- busy, 
free,
| or Discretionary.
|
| What the heck, one more dream.  You should be able to set reminders or no
| reminders and when they should kick out.
|
| I know I am dreaming.  However, I can't help there is a little program 
that
| will create a file of meetings that can be imported by outlook.
|
| Thanks.
|
| Bob
