I have a ton of information in CSV format that I exported from FMNOT, and I
can't see how to get it into Windows Calendar..

In Windows calendar. file-import/export doesn't list CSV format?
Try Mozilla Sunbird, a standalone calendar that will do things that
Outlook doesn't, like email reminders.

Ok, I have downloaded it and tried it, but it didn't seem to import the csv
file with all my info.

Add an item to Sunbird, and export to a csv file. Open both with a
spreadsheet application and compare the two.

I tried to import the csv file, no errors nothing.

I entered a BD and then exported the file.

Only the entered items showed up.

All entries show up in Excell when I open the csv file I exported from fmnot.

Yes but did you compare the *FORMATS* of the two? I.e are your field
headers the same, etc etc? Are there blank lines in the main csv file
etc etc.

Ok, I see. The formats are different, so Sunbird can use my data from fmnot.
I was hoping there was a program that would accept it so I wouldn't have to
input all of it again.

There's a roundabout way.....
Windows Calendar can only import .ics (not .csv or .pst)

Create a calendar on Gmail.com
import the CSV file to Google calendar
export to .ics file (use the Help for these two steps, as it's not
straightforward)

Windows Calendar:
import the .ics file
