How do I fix a corrupt calendar file in Outlook 2003

[phil]

I cannot add new appointments to my calendar in Outlook.

I tried backing up the calendar and deleting the current one but could not
because it is a required folder.

The knowledge base provides an approach for earlier versions of Outlook
which involves starting Outlook from the command line (exchng32), deleting
the calendar file, creating a new file by restatring Outlook once more from
the command line (Outlook/resetfolders) and then copying appointments over
from the backup. However, this does not apply to the current version.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

Phil

I have found the FFolder utility very useful in the past. The file and
instructions are located at

You might have to install "CDO objects" to get it to work. You can install
this by going to add/remove, office, click "change/remove", then change, then
look for where you can install additional components. I think it's under
office tools, then outlook. Just fish around in there and you'll eventually
find where to install it. Hope this helps.
