Outlook Calandar just hangs

[Don]

I open outlook and all functions work perfectly except teh
Calendar; when I click Calendar the program hangs. The
timeglass icon comes up no part of Outlook will respond.
You have to press alt, ctl and delete and end task; then
open putlook again for more of same.

Probably a corrupt meeting in the calendar. I have found that
it is usually in a recurring appointment that has gone bad during
the week of the freeze (when did the freeze start?)

1) Open the Outlook but do not try to open the calendar.

2) Create a New folder (Calendar Test)

3) Do an advanced find on the old calendar and sort events
by recurrence.

- Press F3
- Change the Look For: text box to Appointments and Meetings
- Click on the Advanced tab
- Click Field
- Select All Appointment fields
- Select Recurring
- Condition: equals
- Value: Yes
- Click the Add to List button
- Click Find Now

Drop and drag from advanced find listed events one at a time to
the new calendar, when you get to the corrupt item it will give
you an error message or it will hang. (delete this item)

Or if it is not a recurring (which our's always are) you could
perform the find for all and do the same as above...

Move all your calendar items from Calendar Test folder back to
original calendar (these are previously dragged over items).

Thank you! You are dead on the money. I removed the
recurring and the calendar worked. I am now trying one by
one to figure which appointment is corrupt. Thank you for
the direction. All the best and happy holidays! Don
