Calendar woes

[Pic]

Since running the Inbox Repair Tool a few weeks ago, my Calendar has
gone haywire. Whenever I start up Outlook (2003), ALL recurring
appointments are thrown up as reminders, with today's date as the due
date.

I tried opening a backup of the pst file I made several months ago and
all is normal.

I compared the listings of recurring appointments (reached by
View/Arrange By/Current View/Recurring Appointments) and found that in
the backup pst, all info was there. In the current pst, there is no
info except for Recurrence Range Start and Recurrence Range End (all
marked as "None").

I then tried making a copy of the current pst, deleting all recurring
appointments, and copying and pasting the recurrence list from the
backup pst. The computer appeared to perform the command, but when I
looked, there was nothing there. Not only that, but all of my past
non-recurring items were gone too. Ditto when I try going to Calendar
Options and clicking on the Add Holidays button. No error messages,
but nothing appears in the calendar.

Any advice on how to deal with this problem will be greatly
appreciated. Do I need to reinstall? If so, how can I recover the
recurring calendar data from the backup pst and all other data from
the current pst? At this point, I feel like ditching Outlook
altogether, but can't afford to take that route because all of my data
for the past ten years is married to it.

Thanks in advance,

Try starting Outlook once with the /CleanReminders switch. If you need help
using Outlook command line switches, look here:
