Default When trying to open the Activities Tab I get the following error..

"Outlook cannot display this view. A folder by this name already exists." I
have tried the Repair function in Outlook and then I have completely
uninstalled Office 2003 and then reinstalled it. I still am getting this
error when I try to open the Activities Tab.

Additionally, I have right clicked on Contacts and gone to the Activities Tab
and I have reset every folder group. Yet the problem remains.

Default When trying to open the Activities Tab I get the following err

I tried creating another group and tying it to the Archives, same result. I
tried deleting the Archive Folder, same. I tried tying all the folders to
the Calendar, then to Contacts, same result. After deleting the Archive
Folder, I recreated it, same result. Nothing is working.

Have you run Help | Detect and Repair? Tried a new mail profile?

You're not trying to use one group access folders in two different .pst stores, are you?

I had already run Detect & Repair and then I uninstalled Office 2003 and
reinstalled it along with all the updates. I just ran Detect & Repair again.
No difference. I also deleted the Outlook Address book and made a new one.
I also deleted my email profiles and recreated them. No difference.

I have reset all the folders so they are at their default settings.
Strangely, when I reset the Email Folder it defaults to Personal Folders
instead of Inbox and Sent Items. So I have to change that by hand.
