MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / November 2005Can't add a new calendar event
I'm not able to add a new calendar event. Here's a possible reason why. About a month ago my email PST file size got to 2 Gig. Once it had gotten to that size Outlook wouldn't open. So I tried to do a Repair Inbox. That didn't work. So I had to send the file to our out of office repair guy to fix the problem. He did, he got it to about 1.5 gig & from there I got it donw to about a gig. But now I can't start a new calendar event. So i thought I'd check in here to see if anyone knows how to fix this problem before I call our tech guy who costs $85 an hour to see if he can fix the problem. Jeff You can try the SCANPST (Inbox Repair) again. You may need to do it more than once. What happens when you try to add a new event; do you get an error message? What version of Outlook are you using?  SignatureAloha, -Ben- Ben M.

The New Event dialog box opens up & I put in the info that I want for that Event. Then when I click Save & Close. The event never shows up but when I try & put the event in again it says that their is an event already scheduled for that time. > You can try the SCANPST (Inbox Repair) again.

On the whole, if you have to truncate your PST to get it working again, then you are losing data. My opinion is that the behavior of your PST is probably due to being damaged in the truncaton process, even though SCANPST repaired it well enough to allow Outlook to access it. The smartest thing you can do is to create a new PST, make it your delivery location, and copy the stuff you want to keeop active from the old to the new. Then create an third PST and put the rest of the stuff (the stuff you didn't move because you don't need to access it all the time) into that third PST. This will give you two smaller, working PSTs and you can close the one that gives you the trouble. SignatureBrian Tillman
