The Works Calendar may stop responding when you import an ICalender *.ics file

When you try to import ICalendar (*.ics) files into the Microsoft Works Calendar, the Works Calendar may stop responding. Alternatively, you may receive the following error message:

This issue may occur if you are trying to import an *.ics file that has several recurring appointments. When the Works Calendar imports this information, an individual appointment is created for each day that the event occurs up to the year 2040. If the *.ics file contains many recurring appointments, the Works Calendar may run out of memory. The Works Calendar cannot import these files.

To work around this problem, manually enter the appointments. To do this, follow these steps:

1. On the File menu, click New Appointment.
2. In the Title box, type or select a name for the appointment.
3. Under When, type or select the start time and the end time for the appointment.
4. Type or select other information about the appointment.
