I get a message that says "can't save item". I am using Outlook 2003. Do I
need to upgrade ? Do you think that will solve the problem ? Thank you

No, upgrading won't help. The following might fix it. Try them in the
order listed.

How many items are in the calendar? Are you using a pst created in an older
version of Outlook?

in vista you can type run in the Start Search field to bring up the Run
command - or just type outlook.exe /cleanviews in the start search field.

Also, make sure you have a space between outlook.exe and /cleanviews.

Re: I cannot save items in my Outlook Calendar
"Diane Poremsky [MVP]" <outlookmvp[ at ]msn.com> 12/31/2008 2:07:38 PM
That's odd. It should come up at the top of the start menu, like this:
http://www.xsolive.com/Outlook%20Screen%20shots/Forms/DispForm.aspx?ID=69
Wait for outlook is display, then type the switch - it comes up here as fast
as I can type, but I do this often enough that its cached.

Before using the switch, you need to close outlook. Verify it is closed by
looking at the processes tab in Task Manager.

Re: I cannot save items in my Outlook Calendar
Kaikfryk 12/31/2008 6:41:03 PM
Thank you very much!! I did the above several times and each time it simply
opened up outlook. the last time a message came up saying outlook must close
due to an error. When I opened it again the calendar worked! Very strange
but at least it works. Thank you so much for your help.
