Outlook 2007 Calendar -> Outlook 2003

[JohnB]

In the past I could forward appointments and birthdays from one PC to
another, if both PC's had Office 2003. I just tried forwarding a birthday
from Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2003 and it doesn't work. I get the email in
2003. Open it, open the calendar item, then click on Save & Close. No
error message. But it's not there. Neither in the current month or for
next year. I forwarded it as a reoccurring item, that's the only way it
will let you do that.

Has anyone else been able to do this?
Or, is this a backward compatibility issue?

It's odd.... this works fine for Contacts, doing the same thing.


Thanks

No, it doesn't show up there either.
Should this work? In other words, is this normally *not* an issue?

It should work. We see some problems with missing recurring events,
especially by people who sync with a device, but they can see it in the By
Category (or any other table view).

Try dragging the appointment from the message to the calendar folder or when
the appointment form is open, use Move to folder (Office icon menu).

That was it!
I have no idea why it didn't work the other way but, who cares

Thank you
