Calendar deletion and renaming

[Dobbie]

Need some help please...

Seems I had a problem with the calendar folder in outlook.

I have managed to recovery the calendar that I lost but it is named
calendar1.

Could some one tell me how to delete the "Calendar" folder and then
rename the "Calendar1" folder to replace the "Calendar" folder???

Have all my appointments in the "Calendar1" folder and want this now
to be the "Calendar" folder..

Cant seen to be able to "rename" the "Calendar" folder

thanks much for the time and trouble...

If this is a system file it will not just Delete.

You will need to Delete or rename the Calendar system
folder using the Ffolder utility. Then Open Outlook using
the ".../ResetFolders" switch to build a new Calendar
system folder. Then transfer all your appts into the
new Calendar system folder and delete the current folder
that they are in. (Be sure to copy all your appts into
a safe folder while you perform the following)

Look on the Slipstick site for Ffolder Utility:

Ffolder Utility: Utility to rename or delete "special"
Outlook folders such as the Calendar, Tasks, Inbox, and
Contacts. VB source code included.

Look on technet for the information on how to rebuild the
Inbox system folder with the "/ResetFolders" switch:

OL2000: Additional Command-Line Switches
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;197180

1) Save the appts in the Calendar to a safe folder.
2) Delete the "messed up system Calendar folder" using the
Ffolder Utility.
3) Rebuild your Calendar system folder using the ".../ResetFolders"
switch
4) Move the appts back into the Newly created Calendar.

Appreciate the insight on how to fix the problem but have another
problem with this...

Click on the "Pick folder" and the "select Foler" box pops up.
Click on the Calendar Folder I want to rename and the "calendar"
folder appears in the grayed out "Pick folder" box.
I the attempt to rename, to say "Calendar2" (as a test) and I get the
pop up error 429 - Activex Component cant create object. I click on
the ok button and I get a pop up "FIX FOLDER" "Run-time error "429"
Activex Component cant create object" Click on OK and Ffolder closes.

Any Idea what the problem could be???

Don't know if the CDO file is installed... any Idea of the file name
that the CDO file is called??
Could it possible be called CDOOFF.DLL or PKMCDO.DLL or CDOEX.DLL???
For all these are on the system already.....

Any help appreciated....

Oh... VBRUN6 installed.
