Hi,

I have a problem with outlook 2003, calendar view "Day/Week/Month".

Some entries are not displayed, even though I do not see any filter
applied in the customize window.

The entries *are* in fact in the calendar, I can see them e.g. when
changing to view by Category. Also they synchronize to my phone
(actually, this is how I spotted the problem: I had recreated some
of these missing entires in Outlook, and ended up with duplicates
on the phone).

Most (all?) of those entries are recurring. They are in different
categories, and other entries of the same categories are displayed.
Changing the category of one of these hidden entries has no effect.

What gives? Is there a hidden filter applied in this default view?
(I did a reset to default settings already, no change).

Regards,
Walter

Hi Chad,
I just had a 45 min (remote) session with our IT support - learned
some new interesting command line switches for outlook, but
the net result is that these appointments are still missing.

What they tried:
run "outlook /cleanviews"
run "outlook /cleanfreebusy"
run "outlook /resetfolders"

Reset exchange mode from cached to direct (and back ...)

Called in another expert.

Created new exchange profile to connect to my exchange folders.

Finally, started outlook in /safe mode ...

.... and deleted the test profile again and forwarded the trouble
ticket to the local IT support ;-)

It appears to be really a quite obscure problem - none of the
obvious fixes work.


I just detected some new symptom: the strange appoitnments are
also missing on the "outlook today" page, not just the graphical
day views.

*That* turned out to be quite frustrating: because now we could
tell immediately that also the latest attempt to fix was ineffective,
without having to go to the calendar folder itself ...


So, unfortunately no good news (other than having now 2 more people
on my side who confirm the problem DOES exist ;-)
