Every day Outlook creates a few recurring appointment whose text consists of
a single period. These appointments cannot be opened or deleted. When the
reminder dialog comes up, I click Dismiss and I get an error message and it
disappears. The next day I get a few more. This screws up synchronization
with my palm Tungsten E2. I have no idea what to do or whether this is somehw
relateed to the Palm.
I'm using Outlook 2003 SP2.

Display your calendar by category view (list view) and open each recurrence
until you come across one that errors out.  Highlight and delete it.

Milly--
Thanks. I did this but the next time I synched with the Palm, not only did
the strange appointment return but several real appointments were duplicated
many times over. So I concluded that the problem was the Palm, and did a hard
reset and then synched again and eventually it worked.
This is the second time since I bought the Palm two months ago that I have
had to do a hard reset. Their customer supoort really sucks, BTW. No useful
answers on their web site (a hard reset is not a useful answer IMHO). I think
my next PDA will NOT be a Palm.
Thanks once more for your quick and accurate reply.

I tried your suggestion of opening each item in list view.  The item is not
there! Am still getting recurring reminders and an error that says to the
effect that the start time is after the end time.  Cannot delete it. I don't
even have a Palm!!!
