Thanks, this is what I do: File>Export>
After clicking Export, the screen show my file name to be saves as
type:Calendar Files (*.ics) by default. There's no other option to
save
as
'pst'. Pls advise. Thanks
:
pst is the file extension of the file that holds your mail, calendar,
contacts, tasks, and outlook notes.
Yes, file, export, export to a file, select persona folder file (pst)
and
select the folder. if it doesn't offer you’re my documents folder as
the
location, browse to it then create the pst to make it easier to find
later.

Hi,
1) Pls advise what is 'pst'. I'm not very good at computer and its
tecnical
terms, sorry.
2) To keep/save a copy of my calender with tasks, I should go to
File>Export>'to designated location'. Is this correct? Thanks.
:
you should still keep a copy of the pst - just in case the sync
process
goes
wrong and eats your appointments.

Hi Diane
Thank you for your advice. Will try the various ways suggested.
:
if you use outlook 2007 and publish to office online you can set
it
so
only
you or those you send the url to can view it. However, its not a
good
solution for a backup - for that, make a copy of the pst. Use
it
for
sharing or viweing online only.
other options include the gmail and live (hotmail) calendar
services.
Both
have the ability to keep the calendar private and IMHO, would be
better
for
backup (along with easier to access than office online's
calendar).

Hi,
I have not published my calender yet. Want to know if it is
possible
before
publishing. I was thinking if my PC crashes, I can still
retrieve
the
calender from the internet. Another reason: I can get access
to
it
using
other computer somewhere else. Pls advise. Thanks
:
Hi,
Can I stop others from viewing my calender after I
published
in
the
internet? I do not want my tasks to be viewed by others
except
me.
Pls
advise. Thanks!
yes. It depends on where you published this calendar, which
pertinent
piece
of information you decided not to tell us...
