Recover Deleted Appointments

[Willy]

I am using Outlook 2002 on a Vista system. I only use the calendar partion of
outlook. For some reason many of my old appointments were deleted from my
calendar. They were in my deleted items folder, but I tried to move them back
to my calendar, but unfortunately they were deleted from the deleted items
folder. Any way to get back those appointments? I keep reading about an
exchange server. Not sure what that is, or if I even have one on my home PC.
Thanks.

If they were deleted from the deleted items folder, they are gone unless you
have a backup. Are you using AutoArchive to clean the calendar and deleted
items folder?

Is there a reason you're using Outlook and not the Vista Calendar? Outlook
is overkill if you just need calendaring.

Unfortunately I didn't have a backup. I think it was caused by uploading the
calendar info to a cell phone, and for whatever reason it deleted some old
appointments. I have the auto archive set so that it should not delete any
old data. I am not using the vista calendar as it doesn't appear to allow for
setting a different colour for each member of the family's appointments,
which is an important feature in our household.

You can make a calendar for each person and color the calendars. (in vista's
calendar)
