importing .csv to Calendar (from other pc)

[johnbaker417]

I exported my Outlook Calendar on my office computer and
emailed the .csv file to my home address. Once home I hit
File>Import and Export. I select "Import from another
program or file", hit Next, then select "Comma Separated
Values (Windows)", hit Next, and I get a dialogue box
reading, "Microsoft Outlook cannot start the required
translator. This feature is not currently installed.
Would you like to install it now?" I am then prompted
to "insert the 'Microsoft Office XP Professional with
FrontPage' disk and click OK." We bought the computer
with Office installed on it and we don't have an Office
disk that I know of. Anyone know of a way to get around
this?
Thanks,
John

No, you need the translators which is an optional installation. You should
have received disks for everything installed on your computer when you
purchased it. Check your documentation to see if you have perhaps overlooked
something. If not, then contact the seller and demand the disks.

Don't export your calendar. Instead, create a new PST and copy your
calendar folder to it. Then, rename this PST to "something.psx" and mail it
to your home. At home, save it to disk, rename it to "somthing.pst" and use
Outlook's File>Open>Personal Folder File (or Outlook Data File) to open it.
The only issue would be if you have Outlook 2003 at work and Outlook 2002 or
earlier at home. Then you have to make sure the PST you create at work is
an Outlook 97-Outlook 2002-style PST.
