trying to send an event or appointment from my home computer (windows XP) to
my work calendar (Windows 2000), it is all a big bunch of text and does not
go to the calandar as an event or meeting. Please advise.
 
You might want to mention the versions of Outlook involved, what kind of
mail server you're using, and what steps you followed.
 
I have the same problem. I am using Office 2003, and I'm trying to send a
calendar event to a PC that has Office 2000.
The Office 2000 install receives "a big bunch of text and does not go to the
calandar as an event or meeting."

I have no idea what mail server. But do know that others in the distribution
list that have Office 2003 receive the Calendar event just fine.
 
There is a known incompatiblity between Outlook 2000 and later versions
related to reminders on meeting requests sent in iCalendar (aka iCal)
format. To resolve this issue, do one of the following:

-- Contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the Outlook 2000
post-SP3 hotfix described in this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823199

-- Tell the senders to remove any reminder before sending you an iCal
meeting request.

-- Tell the senders to send to you in native Outlook meeting request (RTF)
format, not as iCal.
