Presently KDE 4.2.3 (release 116) on openSUSE 11.1

Yes, I did. Thanks for clarifying.

Ok... What I did, though, is reloading the my existing calendar files (which 
had not been updated by korganizer). So what you suggest is creating a new 
calendar file by chosing the option "calendar in local file", which then is 
filled with all the data that is presently in korganizer.

So if I understand you correctly, then it's not "re-adding" the data but 
creating a new calendar file based on the present data. So how does Korganizer 
recognize whether some event originally belonged to calendar #1 and some other 
to calendar #2. Anway, right now I don't need to find out.

I will check. Thanks!
