Outlook 2002 Calendar Causing PDA Lock-up

(I had posted this on the TechNet Newsgroups Office Misc,
but it's been down for 2 days.)

Outlook 2002 (10.4016.3501)SP-1 on my desktop is causing
my PDA to lock up: Pocket PC Outlook consumes all
available memory. Replacing the PDA didn't fix the
problem. I did a hard reset on the PDA and synced a
friend's calendar - PDA worked for days with no problem.
Did a hard reset on the PDA and synced my calendar again -
problem returned. So, there must be a corrupt entry in my
Outlook 2002 Calendar. I set up a new Outlook profile on
my desktop PC and synced the PDA. PDA worked fine (of
course the new profile did not populate with data from my
other profile, so there was nothing in the calendar,
notes, contacts etc.) How do I identify and remove the
corrupt calendar entry from my Outlook 2002 profile?

Thanks in Advance,

Phil

There are tools to scan the pst file and repair them. Look at this directory
and see if you got

C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033

C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033\scanpst.exe

Run this and see if it helps you.

Chinnasamy,

Using C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033
\scanpst.exe seems to have done the trick. PDA has been
working for several hours without locking up. Can't
believe it took me nearly a month to get this fixed.

Many Thanks,
Phil
