Export Usage

After the program is installed, you can run it by accessing Start->Programs->Outlook2vCal->Outlook2vCal. You should see this screen appear:

The program automatically attempts to communicate with Outlook(R) using OLE Automation. If an error is reported, this probably means you do not have Outlook(R) installed.

You should first decide if you want to include information about holidays in the exported file or not. Normally you will probably not wish to do this, so the Skip Holidays box is checked by default. Next, click the Export button, which will display a standard File Save dialog box. Browse to the desired folder and enter the filename where you wish to create the new vCalendar data file.

Depending on the security settings in Outlook(R), you may see this screen next. If so, be sure to allow access for a minute or two.
