Outlook"Could not complete the operation. One or more parameter-- "

[martinsmb]

Hello all fairly new to this page so would gladly apreciate some advice on trying to get past a niggly error message which is recuring despite carrying out Microsofts Solutions.
Any feedback will be a bonus as this fault is randomly popping up and is incredibly annoying doesnt seem to happen at specific times say when creating a task as microsoft document .
We are recieving a "Could not complete the operation. One or more parameter values are not valid".
For which i have tried a number of differing solutions via microsoft including creating new mail profile, renaming outlook data files, .ost and .pst repairer tool, outlook check and repair facilty as well as removing live meeting which can aparently cause a conflict. We are using Office 2003 SP1 and this is a networked PC gettin mail from Exchange 2003 server. An isolated incident here but still very annoying as other computers run fine using same hardware and OS ) Thanks Again Have fun all
(Work to live dont Live to work)

Come on people ) Help me before i do some damage how about disabling error reporting hahaha ) is randomly coming up every now an again and doesnt even show anything in event viewer

Try this: Change the task view to simple list. Make sure that there are not any filters or customization on the view. If there are, remove them. Choose "actions" and then "save task order". This may correct the problem.

Yeah thaking you Beckas i have looked at task view and no additions or filters as microsoft go on about. The funny thing is error message comes up random an so is not when doing a specific function i.e creating a task this is a networked pc with the user gettin data from exchange 2003 server. i am gona have to reformat over this pc as an attempt to fix it but not confident as probabbly something embedded in outlook or mail profile although i tried deleting the mail profile and checking .ost.pst files for integrity ) take care and chat soon

I have managed to fix this problem after trying all Microsoft solutions, including deleting and and re-establishing the mailbox. Your exchange administrator needs to go to the Exchange folder on the Exchange server which contains the domain folder and then into MBX (Exchange/YourDomain/MBX). Rename the Tasks folder (eg XTasks), Create a new Tasks folder and then delete the folder you renamed.

I have exactly the same problem. I just try QMAS solution and it doesn't work. The task folder is no more recognized as is.
Anyone another solution ?

QMAS's solution half worked for me. I had a user whose outlook generated the error message when trying to create a new task. Exported old tasks to PST, renamed folder, created new tasks folder, imported from PST, all fine.

The old ZZZTasks refuses to delete tho'. Claims there's a system file, 'no subject.eml' inside there. Oh well, user can create tasks again, so I guess it's a result. Thanks to all for their contributions

Apparently i cannot set a reminder on the task.
I can now create a taks but no reminder for it

Start outlook using a command line.
Add "/ResetFolders

Hey Martinsmb...

I had the same problem that started this thread. Read up on the links provided and I ran the following switches at a cmd prompt:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10
\outlook /CleanFreeBusy
\outlook /CleanReminders
\outlook /ResetFolders

All of which seemed to do their thing, but did not fix this problem. So, after further digging, I decided to try and open up an existing task and save it. It popped up with the following dialog box:

"To Save Task Order, click "Save Task Order" in Actions Menu in Tasks Folder. Do not use filter or grouping."

So, having the tasks open, I went up to the Actions Menu, selected "Save Task Order" and it popped up twice with a dialog box basically stating that I couldn't use this particular template, using default Outlook template instead. I clicked OK on both of these and the Tasks started working!

Thanks for your info...I wouldn't have even looked at the swtiches if you hadn't of mentioned the /ResetFolders option.

I found something what can help you to get rid of this.
you mus have an EX2K or EX2K3 for this.

1. grant yourself full right on the store where the mailbox reside

2. do a backup af this mailbox.

3. In outlook, save the task or move them to another mailbox (that's what i did). Close outlook.

4. On your exchange server go to the M drive and open the user's mailbox folder.

5. Delete the task folder (Yes, hard delete).

6. Restart outlook (or not) to checkthe Task folder deletion. Close outlook

7. in the start run, start outlook with the /ResetFolders.

8. A new task folder should appear.

9. Make a new task and set a reminder on it. Your problem should be solved.
