MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / October 2007Calendar Help. I can't retrieve my calendar folder after a crash
I had an older calendar backed up. I need the appointment details, but all I seem to be able to import are blank calendars. However, there is (257) next to the folder and I suspect it might the record of all my appointments if I could just get to it. Your calendar folder is part of a .PST file, which holds all your Outlook items. What method are you using to attempt to get your data back into Outlook? The number next to your Calendar folder can mean one of two things...if it's blue and in parentheses, it is the number of unread items in the folder; if it's green and in square brackets, it's the total number of items in the folder.

I checked and its green and in square brackets. Now how do I get this to show in the primary calendar? > Your calendar folder is part of a .PST file, which holds all your Outlook > items.

I am still missing some information from you: 1) Where is your backed-up data? Is it in a file? How are you opening the file? 2) What view is set on the Calendar folder that has [257] next to the folder name?

It's in a folder that shows up in Outlook labeled "Calendar in Recovered Personsal folders" [257] and it's set for the monthly view. Thanks. > I am still missing some information from you: > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > > > to the folder and I suspect it might the record of all my appointments if I > > > > could just get to it. Can you see the items if you switch your view of the Calendar to an unfiltered table-style view, such as All Appointments?

I've checked about every view and don't see an "All Appointments" choice. But I've turned all the filters off. However, I've done an advanced search on this "Calender in Recovered Personal Folders [257]" and can find an appointment through a search, so the info is there. But this calendar is part of number of open PST files that I'm trying to salvage, and I'll bet I need to move it up to the primary PST folder. I don't know how to do this. Is it an export/import problem? Thanks. > Can you see the items if you switch your view of the Calendar to an > unfiltered table-style view, such as All Appointments?

You should be able to see the items in any folder, whether or not the folder is in your default .PST file. What views do you see available for the Calendar? How about By Category? Where are you looking for available views?

I can see these appointments/events if I change the start-end field to created, but then the time is wrong. the view shows went I recorded the event. I can see a listing under Active appointments that has the items in the past. However, when I click on an individual item it defaults to todays date, although it says the event occurs in the past. This is Outlook 2003, and I'm running Vista Business. I've tried created a new item with todays date in calendar, and that shows up just fine. Using the start-end selection. I've tried dragging and dropping items from the "recovered file" to the new calendar but it didn't work because it defaulted to today's date and didn't show up as the right time in the calendar. > You should be able to see the items in any folder, whether or not the folder > is in your default .PST file.

So you're saying the Start and End dates are all being changed to today's date? (Just trying to clarify further...) If not, then which date field is showing today's date?

I can't see the older appointments at all in the day/week/month view--just the new one I created yesterday, although the [257] bracket thing is there. I can see all of them under the table view, but the start and end dates both say "none" and when I click on them to open an appointment each one always defaults to today's date except for the new one I created yesterday. > So you're saying the Start and End dates are all being changed to today's > date?

OK. The first suggestion I have for you is to run the Inbox Repair Tool on the .PST file to see if it finds any errors. Close Outlook, then search your drive for a file called scanpst.exe and run it. Allow the program to make a backup of your file before it makes any changes. Post back with your results.

Jocelyn--Nothing is working. You've been great about trying, but I feel like I'm wasting your time. I think it's in the program and I'm out of re-installs with Office 2003. This all followed a crash and I'm trying to retreive everything on my laptop. I'm getting a new desktop and will install Office 2007 and see if I have better results. If not, I let you know. I did run the in-box repair tool on everything, and it found some errors and corrected them, but it still didn't help. Of course if you have some other ideas, I will try them. I'm going to be out of town, so can't order the new computer until I'm back to receive it. Thank you so very much. Charlotte Hinger > OK.

My only other idea is to run a Detect and Repair on your Office 2003 installation, but at this point I'm not sure it will help. It's up to you if you want to try it. The command is on the Help menu of all your installed Office 2003 products. Do let us know if you are able to get your calendar items back if you install Outlook 2007. Remember to open the .PST file that contains those items in Outlook using File | Open | Outlook Data File.
