I can delete appointments, what is the name of the calander file that
outlooks stores, I am wondering if I delete that file, will it rebuild
correctly the next time I sync up? Thanks for your help

Why do you think it is corrupt? Do you get any error messages? What
version of Outlook?

Hi Milly, thanks for the help: it gives me a general error message (no code
number) and wants me to notify MS, which I do, then Outlook restarts and the
problem remains.

2003 (11.6568) with SP2
Like i said, it wants to send an email to Microsoft with come data
The error message is just a general: "Outlook has encountered a problem and
needs to shut down, we are sorry for any inconvience". It looks like outlook
saves error messages in a text file somewhere, I will try to find it and
paste the text in this message.
Thanks Jeff

Outlook stores calendar information in the same file as all of its other
information - tasks, mail, contacts, etc. Try running the Inbox Repair Tool
(SCANPST.EXE) on your PST.
