Outlook 2003 Problem

[istechfcs]

Ok, this is probably a stupid question, but I have a problem with Outlook '03 that's driving me crazy. Say for instance, I go to a future date that I want to create an appointment, all day event, whatever, and I enter in the requested info (Date, time, busy, etc). Outlook shows that date on the calendar in Bold like it's supposed to, but when I actually browse to that date on the calendar, nothing is there. It creates it on today's date and sets the time to the exact time I created it. I double click on it, and it still says the correct start date for the appointment, but it won't show up on the proper day for nothing!!! HELP!!

This is a shot in the dark but may help...

I have had problems with the free / busy issues in outlook 2003, By running office SP1 then with outlook closed go to a command prompt and go to the folder where the outlook.exe is (i.e. c:\program files\microsoft office\office11 or something like that!) type in outlook.exe /cleanfreebusy (then press return)


Alot of issues have been cleared and some calender entries have appeared in bold again.

Another question is : is outlook running in cached mode? sometimes the refresh does not work or take sometime. Again silly question but may help point you in a better direction.

Hope this helps.

Though that wasn't the EXACT cure, you pointed me in the right direction.

There are a number of "switches" to use on Outlook. (Google "Outlook switches") turns out the Outlook /cleanview was the one to do the trick. Run the switch from the command prompt in the directory location of outlook.exe and you'll be all set.
