Doesn't it seem likely to you that

Brian ("Why wont my appointments save in my calendar")
gary1943 ("Can't enter new appointments?")
Bob Roberts ("Outlook crashes when new appoinbtment is saved")
run4it ("same problem" responses to those above)
and I ("OL2002 shutdown on new calendar item" and "Once mo "OL2002
shutdown on new calendar item")

....probably *have* rebooted Windows and restarted Outlook along the
way? Doesn't it seem likely from these posts over the last two weeks
here, and a similar cluster in .public.outlook and
..public.outlook.general, and the burst of such problems after SP2,
that there just *might* be an as-yet-unpatched problem in Outlook?

To repeat:
===

Using Outlook 2002 (10.6515.6735) SP3 on XP Pro -- home office, no
Exchange server.

Recently I started getting shutdowns with "Outlook has encountered a
problem..." whenever I tried to save either a new contact or new
calendar item. After installing SP3 and all other current Office
patches, I can create contacts, but any new calendar item still brings
the crash. My .PST is ~170 MB.

I've tried:

- SCANPST.EXE
- Remove & reinstall
- Delete FRMACACHE.DAT
- New profile
- New calendar under default calendar folder

If you have a suggestion more helpful than the bot-like "reboot
Windows" or "restart Outlook," please share it. Otherwise, you're
giving MVP certification a bad name.
