SUMMARY
Microsoft Outlook does not support the direct import of Day-Timer 2.0 information. However, data can be exported from Day-Timer into an ASCII delimited file, and can then be imported into Outlook.



MORE INFORMATION
Importing data from Day-Timer 2.0 is a four step process. The first three steps define and export the data from Day-Timer.


 * 1) Define the data to be exported from Day-Timer Organizer for Windows.
 * 2) Choose the field order for the export file.
 * 3) Export the data that you want from Day-Timer Organizer into an ASCII delimited file.
 * 4) Import the Day-Timer delimited file into Outlook.

You can obtain more information on exporting an ASCII file from Day-Timer Organizer for Windows (Steps 1-3) from Day-Timers, Inc. Because Day- Timer Organizer for Windows is produced and updated by Day-Timers Inc., we are unable to provide the exact steps for exporting files.

Once the data is exported from Day-Timer 2.0, import it into Outlook.

Importing the Day-Timer ASCII File into Outlook

 * 1) On the File menu, click Import And Export.
 * 2) Under "Choose an action to perform," click "Import from another program or file," and click Next.

 * 5) In Select Destination Folder, click to select the folder that you want to store the imported data in, and click Next.
 * 6) Click to select "Import  into the folder," and click Finish. This may take a few minutes and cannot be canceled.
