I am using Outlook 2000 with all applicable upates from
the Microsft Web Site as of 1 Feb 2004. It has been
working fine for a long time but today, for an unknow
reason, anytime that I try to access the calendar, Outlook
hangs up and I get the eventual "Not responding" alert.

I have tried reloading Outlook with no success. I would
appreciate any help offered or a recommendation on where
to go for assistance.

Thanks in advance.

Probably a corrupt meeting in the calendar. I have found that
it is usually in a recurring appointment that has gone bad during
the week of the freeze (when did the freeze start?)

1) Open the Outlook but do not try to open the calendar.

2) Create a New folder (Calendar Test)

3) Do an advanced find on the old calendar and sort events
by recurrence.

- Press F3
- Change the Look For: text box to Appointments and Meetings
- Click on the Advanced tab
- Click Field
- Select All Appointment fields
- Select Recurring
- Condition: equals
- Value: Yes
- Click the Add to List button
- Click Find Now

Drop and drag from advanced find listed events one at a time to
the new calendar, when you get to the corrupt item it will give
you an error message or it will hang. (delete this item)

Or if it is not a recurring (which our's always are) you could
perform the find for all and do the same as above...

Move all your calendar items from Calendar Test folder back to
original calendar (these are previously dragged over items).
