view corrupt
 

Hello,

This is bizzare.

I have a view in my public task list. It has an SQL filter and looks like
this:

"http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/string/{00020329-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/ProjectMngr"
= 'Joel'

Other people on our exchange see this:

"http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/string/{00020329-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/ProjectMngr"
= 'Joel'

Somehow, ' is finding it's way into the filter and it's corrupting the
view for other people but not me? Any ideas?

Thanks,
Joel

That "'" is an XML escape character for an apostrophe.

See if deleting and re-creating the view helps.

I delete it and recrate it and it works, but it keeps popping back into the
code eventually.

I haven't seen this before so I'm guessing here but is everyone on the same
version of Outlook?

Does this happen if the view isn't shared but is only on one computer?

Actually, if you read the XML view property it should escape any escapable
characters such as apostrophe or ampersand. So that really shouldn't be a
problem.

I'm seeing the same issue on Exchange Server views for a single user on
multiple machines. This is the first time I've seen it, and it just started
happening. Outlook 2003 on both machines.
