Converting from Lotus Organizer 5.0

[Mary Gudobba]

I'm trying to convert a Lotus 5 calendar to an Outlook 2002 calendar.
Everything seems to go ok, but I don't see the entries in the Outlook
calendar. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I was finally able to accomplish it by exporting the Lotus calendar to a
..vcs file and then importing it to the Outlook calendar and then also
importing it as a Lotus organizer 5.x file into the same calendar. One
method missed some entries but had the subject in the correct field and the
other method transferred all entries but the subject was in the description
field (even though I mapped the field). Fortunately, I only needed the past
two months and all future entries to convert so the manual clean up I had to
do wasn't too bad. Oddly enough, I had two calendars to do this to. The
second calendar converted without a problem which leads me to believe there
was something different about the first calendar.
