Default "Best" way to compare two versions of calender based on same PSTfile.

Somewhere along the line in the last week or so I have had some
corruption sneak into my calender as a result of some bad behavior by
Outlook, my iPhone, or the sync conduit.

As a result I have some "repeating" meetings that have turned into a
series of individual events, and some repeating events that have
disappeared entirely.

I would like to try to "compare" my current calendar to the backup
copy of my PST from some time back (I think about 2 weeks ago) (I do
make daily backups of my PST).

I'm using Outlook 2007 and could open a copy of the backup PST compare
them side- by-side in day/week/Month view ... then switch to "All
appointments" view and drag events that are missing or screwed up from
the old backup calender to the current calendar?

Or I could must print out the "All Appointments" view for both
calenders and drag from one to the other as I discover issues as I do
a "paper-based" compare....

Is there an easier way? A "difference engine" would be very
nice ;-)

Thanks in advance for helping a Outlook dufus....

Jim


I'm sure my eyes would go buggy before the end..........

Not sure what this has to do with Contacts.
Why wouldn't you just open two Table views of your Calendar to make the
comparison? "By Category" for example is a Table view.
If you need more ideas, try the calendar group.

Please don't multipost. Especially don't ask calendar questios in the
Contacts newsgroup.
