dear all,

apologies if i am posting in the wrong forum.

my boss has asked me whether it is possible for him to carry out a 'clean' on his outlook calendar, so he can go through and delete the past 3 months or so in one sitting, rather than a month at a time basis?

cheers & thanks in advance,

Jonathan

Why not set up AutoArchiving on his calendar? You didn't mention your
Outlook version so here is a how-to article for Outlook 2007 (you can do your
own research on the MS Office Online website for other versions):

BTW, if you do decide to use archiving and you keep old items in an
archive.pst file, you don't need to import them back into Outlook like the
article I pointed you to says. Instead follow these instructions:

any thoughts?

cheers,

hi there,

its outlook 2003.

he wanted to just delete them rather than archive them, as the desktops and laptops are pretty locked down, i dont have access to gpedit or anything like, and storage of files of a certain size (ie bulky pst files) may cause some issues (political rather than sw issues)

thank you for coming back to me though.

regards
Jonathan

bump ;o)

When setting up the AutoArchive, use the Permanently Delete Old Items option
instead of sending the items to a file.
