Can't open any repeating events in calendar

[Guest]

When I create or accept a repeating event in Outlook 2003 calendar, I cannot
open it. I get the message *Can't open this Item. The operation failed.*

Single events will open.

Does anyone know how to fix this???

If you display your calendar in a table view such as recurrence, can you then open the items? You may have a damaged view and may need to reset it.

I just tried it, and yes, I can open recurring appointments with this view.
But, do you know what I can do to open recurring appts in the day/week/month
view? Thanks,
Stacey

Do you have Google Desktop Search on your computer? And is it enabled
to search your emails? I had the same problem as you; once I removed
GDS (for other reasons), all was well again.
