Calendar shows new message "Calendar (1)"

[Guest]

I recently have gotten a message pop up in my calendar and the calendar title
has gone bold, like when you normally get a new email to your inbox for
example.

I don't appear to have any new messages showing (like you normally get a
little message icon on your shortcut bar for a new message). I presume this
may be a meeting request gone wrong?

Is there a way to get to this message/meeting request? I can't see anything
via the calendar that looks new. Working with Outlook 2003.

It may be a .ics appointment you downloaded from a website. If you want to see what it is, display the calendar in an appointment view (turn on the advanced toolbar and use the dropdown) and add the "unread" field from Field Chooser. Sort on this column.

Otherwise, right click the calendar and select "mark all as read" if you don't really care.

Thanks heaps, totally worked. It was a meeting that saved to the "default"
folder from a public folder.

In my Outlook 2007 I cannot find the field for UNREAD mail, that you mention.
where is it? thanks Cass

It's a Filter, not a field.

when I filter by unread messages it doesn't find the offending message. what
else can I try? Office 2007

R-click the folder and select "mark all as read". that should reset the
counter.

when I filter by unread messages it doesn't find the offending message. what

In the Folder properties, try setting it to "Show total number...."
,Apply, then switch back to Unread...

R-click the folder and select "mark all as read". that should reset the

I tried a few variations of that, which didn't work.
