outlook 2003 event colors disappear on export

I have a user who colors calendar entries manually, and exports the entries
to a data stick (using File - export/export to a file/"tab separated values
(windows)"

When the file is imported into the secretary's Outlook 2003, the colors are
gone.
Is this information contained in the event, or is it a property of the
viewing calendar?Is the export format wrong? Does it require a special
setting on the importing computer?

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Sorry... Couldn't find my original question until after I
posted this one. Please excuse.

They are mapi properties and not included in the export. If the other person
is using outlook he should drag and drop the items to the stick or export to
a pst.
