Change the method to publish and try... I guess it'll work.

I have an ICS file like so: BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN METHOD:REQUEST PRODID:Absorb LMS BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;TZID=Mountain Standard Time:20110713T142655 DESCRIPTION:\n DTEND;TZID=Mountain Standard Time:20110728T130000 DTSTAMP;TZID=Mountain Standard Time:20110727T154733 DTSTART;TZID=Mountain Standard Time:20110728T120000 ORGANIZER;CN=ABSORB:MAILTO:[email protected] RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;UNTIL=20111223T000000;BYDAY=MO,TH SEQUENCE:20241 SUMMARY:_blah's Test UID:63118 BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:Display DESCRIPTION:Absorb Reminder TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Mountain Standard Time BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART;TZID=;VALUE=DATE:20100101 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYDAY=1SU;BYHOUR=2;BYMINUTE=0;BYMONTH=11 TZNAME:Mountain Standard Time TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART;TZID=;VALUE=DATE:20100101 RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYDAY=2SU;BYHOUR=2;BYMINUTE=0;BYMONTH=3 TZNAME:Mountain Daylight Time TZOFFSETFROM:-0700 TZOFFSETTO:-0600 END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR This doesn't work when you open it in Outlook 2010 (you get not valid internet calendar file message and it is NOT helpful). However, if you change the line 13 to: RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;UNTIL=20111223T000000;BYDAY=MO,TH or RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;UNTIL=20111223T000000;BYDAY=MO,TH,FR It works. All of these variations pass the iCal verification tests, it's just a stupid issue with outlook.

Does anyone know any work-arounds or something else I can do? Cheers, Rich icalendar ical ics outlook-2010 link|improve this question asked Jul 27 '11 at 22:16skideh285.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
