I am using outlook 2003. What do you mean by items?
under calendar there are calendar;calendar in archive, calendar in personal
folder.
I only use the first one.
 
Folders in outlook have a limit to the number of items they can hold and the
total size. When you hit that limit you can't create any more. The status
bar should tell you the number of items - or check the folder size by right
clicking on the top level of your message store (where outlook today is) and
choosing properties.

there any way to up the limit.

If dismissing them fixed it, you shouldn't be near the limit. Try starting
outlook with the /cleanreminders switch. See
http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/switches.htm for help using switches.

If you are using Outlook 2003 and created a new profile and did not use a
pst created in an older version of outlook, you can have an unlimited number
of items.

Many Thanks to "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" who suggested I REBOOT my computer and
ALL worked fine after that.

Dooh - It's always those easy answers that make you scratch your head and
wonder why you didn't try that on your own rather than staying up until the
Wee hours trying to solve the issue.

THANKS DIANE!

Restart or Logoff cures the problem temporarily, but any suggestions when the
