MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / November 2007appointments missing, but the reminder remains
Appointments have randomly gone missing from Outlook 2007, however the reminders have remained. I'm assuming the appointments still exist somewhere, but can't bring them back. I've also lost appointments without reminders. How do I get them back? What view do you have set on your calendar? Is it filtering items out?

What methods have you used to check for the missing appointments? Do you have AutoArchiving turned on? (The reminders shouldn't appear if the items are archived though...)

Auto Archive is not set... we use the calendar function to keep track of calls to be made daily. There are huge empty spots that should have information relating to the calls to be made each day. Some of the appointments had reminders set, and others didn't. For the ones that had reminders set at least we are prompted that an action was to be made... for the others that didn't have reminders set... I have a problem...

How do I get them back? Sorry Jocelyn, I'm not sure what you are asking... The items are not in the deleted items folder (which they shouldn't be, because they haven't been deleted). They do not reside in the calendar. I have printed pages for previous days (not upcoming days), and can tell these items are missing. Some the the missing appointments have re-occurences, and the reminder pops up for these items. But have no means of finding or doing anything about the appointments without reminders. > You didn't tell me what methods you've used to check that the appointments > are not in your personal folders/mailbox somewhere...please be specific.

Is this a group calendar you are using? If yes, what version of Outlook and how are you sharing/accessing the calendar?

All appointments with a reminder are missing from all views (All Appointments, Archival, etc.). I do have a backup copy of all Outlook calendar items (<sigh of relief>), so I'm going to try and import them again. Do you have a backup from before the Outlook 2007 upgrade? ~~~~~ Jeff Page > You are not alone! We are not using a group calendar either.

On top of that, reminders work only in the default folders, unless you have a third-party tool that enables them in other folders.

The appointments were missing after upgrading (in place) to Outlook 2007. I was in the default folder, but all appointments with reminders were missing. Those without reminders were fine and in place. I replicated the process on another machine. That is, I installed Outlook 2003 cleanly. I restored the backup from my main machine. Then I installed Outlook 2007. All the appointments without reminders were there but NONE of the appointments with reminders existed anywhere in Outlook. This sure seems like a bug.

After opening the backup PST, open its calendar, display that calendar in a table view, like By Category, select all the items with CTRL-A, and click Edit>Copy to Folder, specifying your default Calendar as the destination. Close tha added PST with right-click Close. Then, if necessary, start Outlook once with the /cleanreminders command switch.

[quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > -- > Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] In By Category view, the appointments don't appear. Are you saying that they are there, but not visible? I've searched for them with the search tools as well as visually, and they simply don't appear in the list. I tried the steps above in the test copy and they still don't appear, even after starting with /cleanreminders. I gave up on this... and restored from a tape backup... from the previous week... I couldn't wait any longer for a solution... Good Luck to anyone that has a similar problem !

I was answering a question I though was Deb's based on the description she gave in her original and subsequent posts. Her problem and yours are most likely unrelated. Start your own thread and give all the details of your probelm, including Outlook version and detailed symptoms. Then state what you want to accomplish and what you've done so far toward the goal. Include the full text of any error messages you've received as well. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
