ics files open iCal instead of Entourage

[Jens Lorenz]

Hi!

When I get .ics files send (iCalendar) and open them, they start iCal and
add the calendar entry into iCal instead of Entourage.

Is there a way to somehow make Entourage the default calendar?

Regards,
Jens

hi,

Control+Click on the .ics file, and select get info
In the info window expand the Open with: and select the appropriate program
you want to use as default.

Don't forget to click the "Change All" button after doing so.

Don't forget to click the "Change All" button after doing so.

You'll need to drag the first .ics attachment to your desktop to do any of
this. Once you do what Mickey suggests (click the Change All button after
setting it to open with Entourage), in future the attachments will appear
with Entourage icons and you can just double-lick them directly as
attachments in the email message. They'll open as Entourage events and will
be already entered in your calendar.
