Searching past events in Outlook 2000

[Joann23456]

For years, I've been searching past appointments by going to Advanced
Find, entering "start" and "anytime" and then the name of the
appointment I'm searching for. Now, all of a sudden, it's not working.
I'll look for a specific client name, wanting to find all instances of
this client, and find none - even though I know there are many in the
calendar.

Does anyone have any ideas about what might be wrong? If I search on my
PDA (which syncs with Outlook), I can find them just fine.

Thanks,

.. Joann

Any change your calendar items are being auto-archived? What happens
when you leave the search text blank?

No, I have Outlook set not to archive. The items are still there - I
can find them if I look through the calendar day by day. I actually
wondered if that might have anything to do with it, though I don't see
how, especially since the search function on the PDA still works fine.

If I leave the search text blank, Outlook gives me no answers.

It's driving me nuts. I'm sending out bills and am trying to look back
to find time by client, which is usually easy, but not now. I have to
keep looking through everything.
