Importing Lotus Organizer

[vieuxrichard]

I understand that there is no synchronisation betwen MyPhone Explorer and Lotus Organizer and that you have to do an Export/Import process in order to get the Calendar etc. into MyPhone Explorer.
Could someone advise in what format I should export my Lotus Organizer data (.txt, .dbf, .vcs, .ics or .lcs)?

[vieuxrichard]

Ok, let me put it another way - how do I Import data into MyPhoneExplorer?

[vieuxrichard]

Hello, is anyone out there prepared to give me a hand here or point me in the right direction?

From the formats above MyPhoneExplorer does support *.vcs and *.ics for import. If you want to import then go to the organizer of MyPhoneExplorer and click with the right mouse button into the day-list -> Import/Export->Import...

Many thanks FJ - I exported an .ics file from Lotus Organizer with Calendar entries and MyPhoneExplorer imported correctly.
It worked a treat - only problem was that I tried to put a filter on the Export file but it seems not to have worked, as all my Calendar entries were exported. No wonder it took 15 mins.

Not sure how to incorporate the Calendar filter into the Export command in Lotus Organizer. Any suggestions?

Sorry, i'm not familiar with Lotus Organizer

First sorry for my english (I'm from french belgium)

I've tried to use the following propost to import data from my lotus organised calendar to my samsung S3. I've imported .vcs to the application. And everythings was correct except the object whos don't appear at the rignt place. So when i export the data to the phone, the appuntment appears but without object and if i try to read the RV, i see in the special case the object i've introduce into organized.
Can someone help me

Thanhs

No one to help me ?

Once again,please I need your help

No problem with your English. Try exporting from Lotus Organizer as an ics file.

AH, thanks for your answer.
I use Organizer 5.0. And I can't export my diary on .ics.
The only way is to export in .vcs and import in the application. Even if I try to import clever. Nothing's changing. The hours are correct but the object doesn't exist. This appears like additionnal. The only way to see this additionnal is to type on the screen to see the contain of the RV.
As it is my professional agenda, I have o lot af appointments. The advantage of a filofax is to see quickly what I have to do. With this solution, I have to type on each appointment to see what it concerns. It isn't practice. So, if I can't find a solution, I can't use my samsung S3 at my office

Any way, i thanks you for your help

If you were to upgrade to ver. 6.0 then you could export in .ics format.

Not sure how compatible the data formats are between 5.0 & 6.0

[ozz]

Thanks for your advice.

I try to upgrade. Sa I'll see if I can import V5 on LO V6.1. Because I can't change the office version. I'm not administor.

After searches on the web, i've found a version 6 of lotus organizer. But it does't work.
So I still have the same problem.

But I've find a way to import correctly the data of calendar into MyPhoneExplorer. But it is not very practice.

Firs I import the lotus calendar into outlook.
Then I export the data from oulook into a folder.
Finaly, I use a litlle soft to convert the file exported into a ical format.
The rest is easy. I import into MypphoneExplorer the file converted with the little soft.

Anyway, it would be easier to do those manipulations at once.
If somebody is interessed by the little soft (for free), it is "iCalConvert"
