Calendar export to excel - problem

[Michael T]

I am exporting my outlook calendar to excel and whilst with a very small
date range it works ok, with anything over a few months (there will be a
hundred or so per month not thousands) Outlook siezes 97% of the processer
and the export dialog just sits there with one bar on the progress meter.

I have tried the same with an Access export and even the smallest export
siezes in the same way immediately.

The export translater software was installed for both Excel and Access
apparently successfully and the machine re-booted as well more than once.

Has anyone any thoughts on why this might be?

There may be a corrupt item, possibly with a recurring item. I'd move the
recurring items to a new calendar folder then export the main folder and the
recurring folder to see if it hangs. Once you see if either work, you'll
have an idea where to look for problems.

In case your still not happy with the export results, consider using a
3rd party app called WinCalendar.
It supports exporting Outlook Calendar as a fully formatted calendar
into native MS Excel or MS Word format.
It also supports 'Agenda' view & many calendar layouts.
