MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / July 2006Calendar appointments dissappeared
OK I'm a fairly new user of Outlook. I started using the calendar in the first half of this year - everything seemed OK. Just over a week ago the IT guy here helped me switch from using Eudora to Outlook as my email program (imported address book and previous emails). The appointments and tasks all seem to have dissappeared now. Could it be something the IT guy did? did importing the email messages and addresses overwrite some file that stored the data for the calendar and task list? (I can't be sure that it was something that the IT guy did because I hadn't used the calendar and task list for about 1-2 months prior.) Is there any way to restore these? Is there a chance this could happen again? Thanks in advance, Chris did you make a new profile? how many pst's do you have? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/filepath.htm if you don't know where to look for the psts. is autoarchive turned on? if yes, it may have archived the appointments.

One is to handle my student email account and the other is to handle my staff email account. Not sure whether both were created last week (and was previously using some other profile) or whether one of these is the old one I was using last semester. Before we go on - does this mean I'll have a different calendar working under each of these profiles? The other possible problem is that the IT guys like to partition our hard drives into C and D drives, I understand that C is where the programs are generally stored and D is more for user files and docs etc. I'll do a quick Serach for pst files see if they've been moved somewhere else - and make sure I['m accessing both profiles properly, and I'll get back to you.

OK, not sure about how this archive function works. How do you access the archived appointments? I'll also scoot around "help" in the meantime to see if that helps me, just that I'm in a hurry to get this up and running... > > OK I'm a fairly new user of Outlook.

It sounds like one or other... so try opening the pst's using File, Open menu and then browse them using the Folder list (ctrl+6) - I suspect you'll find the missing data in one of them.

I can only find one calendar file (currently blank) under the "personal folders" pst stored on C partition. The staff and student pst files (both on D partition) only have 5 or 6 basic email folders (eg inbox, Sent etc). Searches for pst files on all drives have only revealled the 3 pst files. Is there something I've overlooked? I can only see this one calendar file... > Do you have two profiles or did they make you a new profile?
