Uploading a club programme

I have tried searching the community and the web, but found no answers which
seem to work. I want to be able to upload a club programme into Outlook and
make the upload available to other members running Outlook. I am on XP home
with Outlook XP. Initially I did a tab separated export and modified that
file, creating separate wrksheet allocating a separate type of meeting to
individual worksheets and allocating a unique category within each worksheet
so that separate types of meetings could be identified in Outlook and people
need only load those types of meeting they wanted. I then created a tab
separated file of one worksheet to load.

However the upload to Outlook as a calendar file failed completedly - no
error messages, pleanty of activity bars completing but absolutely zero in
the calendar. I tried creating another calendar folder and accidently
created it as a mail folder. Outlook did a very good job at sorting out the
mismatch of data and creating a set of received mails. However when I
created the folder as a calendar rather than a mail folder - nothing again.

According to all the documentation this should be a very simple operation.
I am hoping someone can tell me the simple mistake I am making.

Thanks.
 
No errors in the import. I did not make a named range as I used a tab
separated export from Excel to do the import to Outlook.
