    - How to get the Calendar Printing Assistant to show missing events I noticed that some of my recurring events (birthdays) did not show in the calendar printing assistant. Other, very similar events, did show. The difference is that events with an older start date did not show. When I changed the recurrence to begin in 2008 (instead of 1998 or earlier years), the events began showing on the calendars.

    - Need Custom Outlook / Exchange form built Our web folks are asking us to have a form built for our publicly shared calendar. Is this easily achieved? Can anyone point me in a direction where I can get more information. Their specifications are below. Outlook has built in calendar and export sharing capabilities. We need someone to write/setup the needed Outlook forms, etc to get our shared public calendar events exported into an exchangeable file format such as XML or iCalendar (preferred). The main form that needs to be built is basically a customized Appointment form that adds additional fields to the record related to our business. These fields include bio information, client names and links, reference number, etc. Technical hurdles: - The scheduling setup uses multi-character codes to denote event status and location. These need to be parsed into additional data fields. It may be possible to replace these codes with menus on the custom form. - The schedule can have multiple event on a single day, or potentially overlapping evemts at different locations. There needs to be a way for users to indicate which group of appointments constitute a event. - The data needs to exported in one of two ways: 1. New versions of Outlook also provide the ability to publish calendars to a WebDAV server. One option for this project is to setup Outlook to publish its calendars to a WebDAV server, and have the website continually check for changes to this published file and update itself. 2. The data can be exported from Outlook as a file, and then loaded into the website using an upload form in the admin interface.

    - Syncronizing Calendars I have a calendar at work that Publish so that I can use it at home. In order to use the whole calendar I have to copy my default calendar (calendar) to an copy (calendar-publish) version and then publish this one. when I subscribe to it at home I can get the whole calendar. Now I have two calendars at work (the default and the copy version) and two at home of the same names. How can I sync all the calendars so that I won't have to copy day by day from the published on to the default? Is there a way that I can copy the whole calendar at one time? -- Mr. D Tag: Recurring meetings with reminder duplicates hundreds of times Tag: 100708

    - Appointment Import Problem At work I have been using Outlook XP (2002) with a relatively large number of recurring and non-recurring appointments in my calendar. I have recently changed to a more modern pc - still using Windows XP - but with Outlook 2003 installed. Consequently, I exported all my old appointments to a csv file and imported them to the new machine. I did the same for my tasks. To my amazement, all the recurring appointments (and tasks) seem to have arrived as non-recurring appointments (and tasks). The tasks (15,000+) weren't a problem to clear up as I just deleted most of them and made one of each recurring again. However, my calendar is now littered with loads of former recurring appointments - many of which I want to update and amend. Can anyone tell me if I have to go through them one by one, deleting or amending them, or is there a quicker way to, say, delete all appointments and get back to a virgin calendar - so I can start from scratch again, which will be quicker overall. Argggh! Help please. Thanks, V Tag: Recurring meetings with reminder duplicates hundreds of times Tag: 100692

    - Outlook Calendar Item takes Minutes to open I have an outlook calendar item that takes minutes to open in outlook 2007. In outlook 2003 it opens right away. I narrowed the issue down to an email hyperlink. If I delete and recreate the hyperlink the problem goes away. This solution is ok for me.. But I figure someone there may want to look at this.. I can sent a copy of the appoitment (Saved as a m.sg file, if saved as a .ics the problem does not reproduct, the appoiment has only only the email hyperlink and date no other informaiton) if someone @ microsoft wants to look into this further.

    - meetings errors I am having troubles with a few mailboxes that I migrated using self based migration tool. This is a Lotus- > 2007 Migration. Their mail and other items works ok. Except for the Calender. The users cannot actively send updates to other attendees for calendar items they own. Outlook States not sufficent permissions see folder contact or administrator. I have tried repermissioning the mailbox & calendar within outlook. No Luck, Then I checked the exchange advanced mailbox rights, they have full mailbox control and read permissions as standard. I still cannot grant the user permission to their own calendar to send updates. If anyone has any ideas, that would be great.

    - How do I keep internet calendar subscriptions from unchecking? I'm having an annoying little problem with the Internet Calendar feature of Outlook 2007. Every time I close and reopen Outlook, the calendars that are subscribed to (which were checked upon closing) have been unchecked! We have our Calendars automatically opening upon Startup, and want them to be ready to use right off the bat (without clicking multiple check boxes to pull in all of our Calendar subscriptions). How can I make them all stay checked by default? Things to note: 1) Instead of publishing our office's calendars online, we chose the 2nd option offered, which is Publish to WebDAV server. I have all of our calendar subscriptions posting to and pulling from a folder on our server here in the office. 2) This problem occurs in Vista as well as XP 3) I am aware that an Exchange server would clear all of this up, but that is beside the point for right now. 4) I have thoroughly searched the Outlook options offered. 5) On the subject of Outlook options, I have Outlook starting in the Calendar as its default. Please help me!! Thanks. Tag: Recurring meetings with reminder duplicates hundreds of times Tag: 100663

    - Use of shared calendars Hello. I'm looking for some advice. One of my customers has created a set of user accounts which represent a 'boookable resource'. He has given a set of users (who are call centre operatives) the ability to create appointments in these calendars. What he wants, is to ensure that each resource is not 'double booked'. As an appointment is added he wants that appointment to be displayed to the other operatives as soon as possible. How fast can Schedule/Free Busy information be updated? Is this sort of calendar usage achievable? Were running Exchange 2000 with SP3 on Windows 2000 Server SP4. The clients are a mixture of Outlook 2002 SP2 and SP3. Thanks. Dave.

    - Task Recurrence & Outlook Connector Hi I was wondering if anyone can help with the above and the problem I have. Basically, I'm using Outlook 2003 on a Windows XP SP2 computer. I have installed the Outlook Connector to synchronise with my Hotmail account (standard account not Hotmail Plus). Following this I have selected the Deliver New Email To The Following Location to show my Hotmail account as the default and closed the Personal Folder. I'm aware that the Hotmail account I have will not synchronise with my Outlook Calender, Tasks etc but it still allows me to use these Features in Outlook. My problem therefore is that I'm unable to use the recurring feature in Outlook. Everytime I try to select a task recurrence a window opens prompting Outlook Connector Does Not Support This Recurrence Pattern.

When I add recurring meetings (recurring yearly since they are actually
birthdays) and add reminders, I get hundreds of meetings on that day, all
saying for exampel Linda's Birthday.

Why is this? How can I do this without having this problem? Is there a fast
way of deleting all these extra meetings?

Thanks in advance

Display your calendar (always include your version of Outlook when =
posting a question) in a table view. I would select events, then find =
and delete the extra events.
