Calendar events revert after changes

[TheCat]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: Exchange

I'm running Entourage 2008 on Leopard, connected to an Exchange 2003 server. I have an iPhone connected to the server via ActiveSync. I sometimes open Outlook 2007 in Parallels to do things that Entourage can't do, such as easier viewing of multiple people's calendars.

I'm very frustrated.

When I change events in Entourage, I often discover that they've reverted and reappear on my calendar! A deleted event magically reappears, a moved event is back at the original time and the new time doesn't show a meeting, etc. I know that something is updating the server, because I see the wrong/reverted event in all three interfaces.

So I'm showing up for meeting that have been cancelled or moved, and missing meetings that have been moved.

Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Try emptying your Calendar's cache and see if that helps.

If you see this in just one or a handful of folders then right-click or
Control-click that folder, select Folder Properties and click the Empty
button to empty the cache. You can also select the account itself and
empty the cache for all of your folders.

Hope this helps!
