Can't Find Unread Appointments

[The Merg]

I used OL2007 at home and OL2003 at work. In order to get them synched up, I
went ahead and exported my entire OL2007 calendar in iCalendar format. I
then deleted everything in the OL2003 calendar and then imported the OL2007
iCalendar into OL2003. When I did so, OL2003 showed that I had a couple
thousand unread appointments in my calendar. I right-clicked on the calendar
and chose to "Mark All as Read". When it finished the process, it still
showed that I had 6 unread appointments. I cannot figure out what those
appointments are.

Does anyone know how I can find them? I've tried creating a view of unread
appointments and nothing is found. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Merg

Have you tried starting Outlook one time with the /cleanviews command?

Well, I figured it out, I think. Any appointments that I had forwarded in
iCalendar format and then saved onto the calendar are showing as unread.
Even if I right-click on the calendar and "Mark All Read", it ignores them.
I need to re-open the appointment after it has been saved and then "Save and
Close" again.
