restore archived calendar

I didn't realise until now but my Outlook Calendar was set to auto-archive,
and it has just placed every entry except my most recent into the Archive
folder.

However, I don't want this and wish to restore everything into the original
calendar. I have tried to follow the Help instructions but cannot see a way
to do this. You cannot just drag the Archive Calendar back into the original
Calendar folder, since this just lists it as "Calendar1".

I have also tried exporting the Archive Calendar to the desktop as a .CSV
file and then importing that back to the original Calendar, but it will only
let me import the past couple of months worth of entries, for some reason I
don't understand.

Please advise. Thanks.
 
Drag the individual items, not the folder. Start in the By Category view or
any other table view.

I can't drag recurring appointments back into the current calendar; only
single entries works. Is there another way?
 
Are you dragging from a table view, as I suggested? What happens when you try?

This was my first post; I don't know what a table view is. I'm in
day/week/month. Most of my appointments I haven't assigned a catagory to.
 
PMFJI, but a table view would be "by category." Select all (or what you
want) right click and drag to the destination calendar FOLDER, release the
mouse and select copy or move.

You can only do that with single appointments; most of mine are recurring and
it won't copy those over
 
It works for ALL appointments if you follow my instructions correctly.
