I can delete appointments, what is the name of the calander file that
outlooks stores, I am wondering if I delete that file, will it rebuild
correctly the next time I sync up? Thanks for your help
 
Why do you think it is corrupt? Do you get any error messages? What
version of Outlook?

Hi Milly, thanks for the help: it gives me a general error message (no code
number) and wants me to notify MS, which I do, then Outlook restarts and the
problem remains.
 
What is the error message????? Outlook version????

2003 (11.6568) with SP2
Like i said, it wants to send an email to Microsoft with come data
The error message is just a general: "Outlook has encountered a problem and
needs to shut down, we are sorry for any inconvience". It looks like outlook
saves error messages in a text file somewhere, I will try to find it and
paste the text in this message.
Thanks Jeff

Click to expand...

Outlook stores calendar information in the same file as all of its other
information - tasks, mail, contacts, etc. Try running the Inbox Repair Tool
(SCANPST.EXE) on your PST.
