Outlook 2000 and Exchange - Calendar locks up

[Rick Pugh]

I am using Outlook 2k connected to an Exchange 5.5
server. When I access my calendar, O2k locks up and
reports "Not Responding". This is in MY account only and
it makes no difference which pc I use to access my
account. Looks like it is a Problem with the Exchange 5.5
Server. Any Ideas as to how to REPAIR MY Account?

Thanks,

Rick

Probably a corrupt meeting in the calendar. I have found that
it is usually in a recurring appointment that has gone bad during
the week of the freeze (when did the freeze start?)

1) Open the Outlook but do not try to open the calendar.

2) Create a New folder (Calendar Test)

3) Do an advanced find on the old calendar and sort events
by recurrence.

- Press F3
- Change the Look For: text box to Appointments and Meetings
- Click on the Advanced tab
- Click Field
- Select All Appointment fields
- Select Recurring
- Condition: equals
- Value: Yes
- Click the Add to List button
- Click Find Now

Drop and drag from advanced find listed events one at a time to
the new calendar, when you get to the corrupt item it will give
you an error message or it will hang. (delete this item)

Or if it is not a recurring (which our's always are) you could
perform the find for all and do the same as above...

Move all your calendar items from Calendar Test folder back to
original calendar (these are previously dragged over items).

Nikki,

Thanks, I think we are on the right track, However, it
looks as though every recurring items locks up Outlook
when i move it to the new folder. They do seem to be
populating the new calendar and seem to be working once
there. Do i have a greater problem with this user?

Thanks,

Rick
