Unable to Update Public free/busy data Statement

[dchem]

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.

Are you running Outlook 2000? Than I think you need to contact Microsoft for
this
See the following KB article
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=816942

If you are running Outlook 2002 make sure you don't have an Internet
Calendar configured. To check this;
Tools-> Options-> tab Preferences-> button Calendar Options...-> button
Free/Busy Options-> make sure the Internet Free/Busy options are unchecked

Hope this helps!

I looked and the free/busy options are not checked. I am
using Outlook 2000 but I have two calendars, one on my
computer and the other on the server. I don't know which
one I'm configuring when I do as you've recommended below
but I'd assume that I'm configuring the client one.

Do you know how to migrate all of my "server-calendar"
info into my "client-calendar" files? Further do you know
how to set up a rule such that all future invitations, and
manual calendar entries default to the client rather than
reside on the server?

I think working with a single calendar would be a good
start. I appreciate your help and look forward to your
response....
