You can now import VGOF calendar entries into your Outlook (or other mail application) Calendar using the iCalendar format link available within each topic that has an associated calendar entry.

Just click the link outlined in the image below and it should open automatically in your mail application. Just click save and the entry will be added to your calendar!

*NOTE: Please know that any updates made to the VGOF calendar will not be included in your imported calendar entry!

*NOTE: all calendar entries currently are listed as "All day" entries since start and stop time are not included in the current VGOF calendar functionality. Looking to maybe add to this functionality in the future.

As always - any questions, comments or criticisms are welcome!

Has anyone else encountered this error while importing a .ics file from the calendar into Outlook?.

Can you point me to a calendar entry that's giving you this error?

You must be using Outlook 2003 (or older)... See if you can import it now?

The problem with Outlook 2003 has been corrected. If you see a calendar event that looks interesting and you want to add it to your calendar - now you can!

Right now, there's only a link on the forum post associated with a calendar entry. I'll be adding it to the actual calendar page soon.

I hope you guys find this to be useful. I spent a good amount of time getting it working right! :)
