Import Calendar data only?

After using the inbox repair tool, my Outlook 2003 began throwing all
of my recurring appointments up as reminders (all 97 of them!) every
time I start up the program. They are all listed as overdue -
probably back to when the first repair attempt was made. When I open
any one of them, the due date is today.

I tried running the repair tool again. Didn't work. I tried setting
up a new profile. Didn't work. The only think that did work was to
delete all of the recurring appointments. Now I notice that not only
are my recurring appointments gone, but so are all of my one-time
appointments.

Is it possible to import calendar data only from a backup of the pst
file made when Outlook was healthy? Is there a better way to deal
with this problem? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

It's possible using the File menu > Import & Export command to import a
single folder from a PST file.
 
I tried to import the Calendar folder from a backup I made in April.
No error messages during the process, but when I looked, there were no
appointments. I then went to Options and clicked on the Add Holidays
button. Again no error messages, again no results. I then put the
backup pst on my desktop and opened that. All my appointments are
there, but I now have two calendar windows.

Does this mean I have to have 2 pst files on my computer just to look
at my appointments? Is it possible that I turned something off in my
current pst file? This is very bewildering.

Thanks for your help thus far.

PS I seem to recall that in an earlier version of Outlook, there was
a way to look at all of your appointments, including holidays, in list
form. Is there a way to do that in OL 2003?
 
It almost seems like you're looking at the wrong Calendar folder. How many
PSTs show in the your full folder tree?
 
At present, two. The first is the empty Calendar in the pst I'm
trying to save (the one that is unaffected when I use the Add Holidays
button or try to do an import. The other is in the backup pst I'm
trying to import my appointments from.
