I have a calendar that has events that disappear. It only
seems to happen on Outlook 2002, as I have another
machine with Outlook 2003 and it works fine.

The events sometimes show up if I click back and forth
from Day-to-Day, but if literally let it sit there
viewing they will vanish right it front of me! It also
will not show up on the Print Preview Option. The only
ones that stay consistent are Reoccuring Meetings.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks
Kevin
 
Do you use Exchange Server?

Is your admin running an AV on the Exchange? Scanning the M drive
can cause this...

Also, have you heard of the NoOST registry setting? Below is a snip
from a list that had a similar problem:

-------------------
Can you check to see if you have NoOST key in the
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\OST? If you do have the
key, what type of the registry key is that? string value, Binary Value,
DWORD value, etc? If it's not the DWORD registry key, delete and
recreate it with DWORD value.

I accidently created the NoOST key with the string value and it caused
my appoitments to disappear, but I was able to see them in OWA. After
replacing it with DWORD registry key, everything came back...
----------------------

Information about the NoOST key:

0 = An offline store is set up by default and used for calendar caching.
Also, the user is allowed to enable offline access and use the offline
store.

1 = An offline store is set up by default and used for calendar caching.
However, the user is NOT allowed to enable offline access and use the
offline store. The options in the Microsoft Exchange Server properties are
not available.

2 = An offline store is NOT set up by default and the user is NOT allowed to
enable offline access and use the offline store. The options in the
Microsoft Exchange Server properties are not available.

3 = An offline store is NOT set up by default and the user is allowed to
enable offline access and use the offline store.

Yes -- Exchange 2000.

I have tried clearing the /cleanfreebusy, etc..
Also - this user is on a Mac and doesn't have the problem
in Outlook 2001. But if I log in as him onto a PC with
Outlook 2002, they vanish.
