Can't delete calendar items

[Scott]

I am unable to delete calendar items. I retrieved archived items and received as many as 8 copies of a single item. I can't delete any of those, nor can I delete any recent single item entered in calendar. When I try, I get the "messaging interface has returned unknown error" message. Also, I am unable to sync calendar items with my PDA. I'm using Outlook 2000 SP-3 and Windows 2000 SP-4. This sounds similar to some other posts.

Any help? Thank you.

Scott

Are you using a .PST file? How big is the file?

Incidentally, there's a better way to view archived data -- see
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/readarchive.htm for info.

If you don't know what a .PST file is, how did you retrieve your archives?
Data that is archived using Outlook's manual Archive command (on the
File menu) or the AutoArchive feature is put into a .PST file. And unless
you're using Exchange, your default data file is a .PST file also.

Tell us more about how these items were archived and what exactly you did to
retrieve them -- then we can give you more help on this.

Well, you can believe me when I say I don't know how to find the .PST file. My data has been archived using Outlook's manual Archive command (on the File menu) or the AutoArchive feature is put into a .PST file, just as you said. When I search for .PST files, none are found. When I search for the path shown in the achive command, it is not found.

So, I really don't know how to find the .PST file.

In the meantime, I still have the problems I originally wrote about. Can't delete and can't sync

Thank you

I asked what I asked because in your original post you said "I retrieved
archived items". You couldn't have retrieved them from a .PST file if you
couldn't find the .PST file, and you still haven't told me how you DID
retrieve them. So I'm still confused

Anyway, since you're using Windows 2000, the .PST files are likely located
in hidden or system folders, so make sure you enable searching within hidden
and system folders, and/or turn on the option to show these types of folders
in Windows 2000.
