it appears that old appointments (other than recurring entries) drop off
after about 7 mos. is there any way to keep old appointments on the calendar
indefinitely? once in a while i need to look back to see what week i left
town last summer or some such thing, and the entries are gone. thanks!

Right click the Calendar folder, select properties then the Auto-archive
tab. Set your archive interval to what you want or none. I have mine set
to none.

yep - that will stop the autoarchive from going ahead.

thank you! in the past when it's asked me if i want to autoarchive, i've
said no, and i guess as an option it just deleted the older ones and they are
lost forever! but hopefully i can save them from now on.

I recently loaded Outlook 2007, and then I noticed all my appointments from
Septemer 1 back are gone. I followed your instructions to disable
autoarchive (thank you!) so hopefully that won't happen in the future, but is
there a way to recover the calendar info from the past? It's devastating to
have lost all that info (business and personal).

I do have past years' info in Palm Desktop, but I can't figure out how to
export that into Outlook. I would still have a several month period that is
lost, but at least I could get the older info into Outlook. Can you help me
with that process?

Thanks! Julie

Click ToolsOptionsOtherAutoArchive. Is an archive PST listed there? If
so, examine the checkbox labeled "Show archive folder in folder list" checked?
If not, check it and restart Outlook. You should see the archive folders then
and be able to recover any archived items.
