APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Outlook 98 Standard Edition

This article was previously published under Q186347





SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Outlook 98, if you select a Calendar created as a subfolder of the main Outlook Calendar and import holidays, the events are always imported into the main calendar. This will result in duplicates if the holidays are already in the main calendar.



CAUSE
This behavior is by design. Outlook processes reminders for events and appointments in the main Calendar folder.



RESOLUTION
After importing the holidays into the main calendar, copy them to the subfolder as follows:
 * 1) From the main calendar folder's View menu, point to Current View and click By Category.
 * 2) Click to select the Categories bar and drag it to the subfolder.

NOTE: This will move the holidays to the subfolder. To copy them to the subfolder, right-click the Categories bar and click Copy on the shortcut menu after dropping on the subfolder.

NOTE: Outlook will not process reminders for appointments in this subfolder unless they are also created in the main calendar folder.
