The Works Calendar will export to a tab-separated values text file and
Outlook can import that type of file. Works can also export a vCalendar
file which Outlook may be able to handle; it can import from a vCalendar
file, but I don't know how many items at a time. You'll have to test it.
 
I, too, am attempting to do this. I exported into a tab-separated file from
Works Calendar. All went well. Then I went to Outlook, and indicated I was
importing from a tab-separated file, and made the selection to import into
Calendar. It allowed me to select my file, but then I couldn't go any further
-- The Next button was greyed out. (I'm using Outlook 97). Thanks for any
advice you can provide.

Upgrade - Outlook 97 has been out of mainstream support for years, is buggy as all getout and does not support many of the common features of current mail programs.

Milly - You were right. I upgraded my Outlook to 2002 version. The import
went smoothly after that. Thanks for responding .... Jan
 
This is long winded but worked for me. Export data from Works Calendar as a TSV file (Tab separated values). Import this into Excel and save it as a CSV file (comma separated values). Import this into Google calender (you'll have to set this up) and then export it as an ICS file.

This file will import into other software whereas the ICS file exported directly from Works simply won't work. So Works don't work - ironic eh?
