Agree with Stacey -- the privacy concern seems unfounded since the data is available to them in human readable form (which is what most would use for evil purposes anyway). MLS already provides the .csv export feature for leaders (I can take that file and import into Outlook). But having that

Pete,
I don't know of one either but I was thinking of testing your iCal

Peter,
I tried using this feature yesterday to do an import into Outlook 2003.

I wonder if you could call the church support number for ward and stake clerks and ask them. Even if they can't answer your question maybe they can get you in touch with the right people.
