I have had no problem with the calendar before, but I am trying to delete a
repeating agenda item from my calendar and an error keeps coming up: Errors
have been detected in the file c:\Documents & Settings\User\local
Setting\Applicatio\ Data\Microsoft/Outlook\Outlook.pst. Quit Outlook and all
mail-enabled applications, and then use the Inbox repair tool (Scanpst.exe_to
diagnose and repair errors in the file. For more information about the
repair tool, see Help.
I can't find the Inbox Repair tool.
If I just delete the one instance of that item it will delete.

Outlook and Windows version? Have you tried searching using Windows Search and enabling searching hidden files/folders?

%CommonProgramFiles%\system\MSMAPI\1033\scanpst.exe for English versions of
Outlook 2003 and earlier on WIndows XP or 2000.
