Importing Calendar from CSV file does not work when offline

[mckoss]

I had a heck of a time figuring out what was wrong when trying to
import some calendar items from and Excel or CSV file into Outlook.

I am using Exchange and have an offline (ost) file. When I am
connected to Exchange, I can import the appointments fine and they show
up in my calendar. But, when I am not connected to Exchange ("Work
Offline" setting), the Import seems to run normally, but the
appointments do not show up in my calendar. Worst of all, there is NO
ERROR message or any indication about what can be done to correct the
problem.

I'm using Outlook 2003 SP2. Is this a known bug?
