Calendar item deleted repeatedly

W

Warren

I have a calendar item that only appears in the deleted items folder. It is
a birthday reminder, yet the contact with which it is supposedly associated
does not have a birthday listed in the details. The reminder is set for the
31st of December, yet it does not appear in the caleendar. Furthermore, it
is "deleted" 6 or more times a day. I thus have 6 or more copies of this
same calendar item in my deleted items forlder, even though the original
exists nowhere in Outlook. Where is it coming from? How does it appear only
in deleted items and nowhere else?

It is not really a nuisance, since it does not ring, pup up, or cause my
system to crush, but it is suspicous, and a cause for concern. Has anyone
seen anything llike this? Where did this come from?

Thanks

Have you tried the ".../CleanReminders" switch?

Instructions for Outlook 2007

See the following link for information on how to use
this switch VERY EASY:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP012185891033.aspx

Or if you use Outlook 2003

The following page explains the Command-Line switches for 2003:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP010031101033.aspx

The command line looks kinda like (Depends on what version of Outlook
you are using as to WHERE your Outlook.exe file is located):

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe " /CleanReminders

Note: Paths that include spaces between words must be enclosed in quotation
marks (") and are case sensitive.

checked in your TASKS folder for something?
