Why do I repeatedly (six or 8 times a day some days) get a
dialogue box that says "Unable to update public free/busy
data. Operation failed." ?
Below (at the bottom of this post)is a more detailed
statement of my problem and a kind reply from a newsgroup
user, but one thing that is not addressed in my problem
statement (or in the user's reply) is that I must click on
the dialogue box, the one that's telling me that it's
unable to update the public free/busy data.
Also, why is it UNABLE to update the public free/busy
data? I can see the likelihood of a message flitting
across the screen from time to time, saying that the
data's being updated but this problem involves a dialogue
box that won't go away until acknowledged and a dialogue
box that says the program is UNABLE to update the file.
I'm assuming this is not a part of the program's normal
operation, particularly since I've used the program for 6
or more years and this phenomenon only began to manifest
itself after we transisitioned to Windows 2000.

It is a normal message - it just indicates that the server
is busy at the
time that Outlook is trying to update the free/busy time.
If you notice
under your Calendar options, Outlook is set by default to
update every 15
minutes. Seeing this message a few times a day is not
unusual.

| About six times a day, I get a statement that pops up in
a
| window. The statement says "Unable to update public
| free/busy data. Operation failed."
|
| What does it mean? Why is it occurring? And how can
I "fix
| it?"
|
| The statement seems to be related to my Calendar
| function. I have two calendars, one on the server and
one
| on my client computer. I use the server one but there
are
| entries that get mass-mailed to me that show up on the
| client calendar. If I open a client-calendar file, I get
| the referenced statement within 2 minutes, but it also is
| showing up randomly as described above.
|
| All ideas appreciated.
