Default outlook.exe/cleanfreebusy program

When making an appointment in calendar, I recently started to receive an
error message saying "unable to save free/busy information; unable to open
free/busy information". I went to the MS help site and it said to run
"outlook.exe/cleanfreebusy" program". I tried to, but I got a message saying
"Microsoft cannot find outlook.exe/cleanfreebusy".
Does anyone know what my next step should be to correct this? Thanks!

....the correct entry should be:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE" /cleanfreebusy
....but this is based on your version of Outlook...

I'm not sure what you mean - when I entered what you wrote it (under the
"run" window) it just opened outlook again.

And that's what it should have done, but with regenerated free/busy
information.

You need a space between "outlook.exe" and "/cleanfreebusy"

I added the space as you suggested and it opened Outlook, but also gave this
message: "Unable to clean your free/busy information on the server".
Next thoughts would be appreciated!

Time to talk to the Exchange administrator, if your account is an Exchange
account.

I'm sorry, I feel pretty stupid for asking, but what or who is the Exchange
administrator and how do I find out if I have an exchange account?
Thanks

If you have to ask, then you don't have an Exchange account.

To where are you publishing your free/busy information? If you don't use
Exchange, publishing free/busy is far less useful, since no one else can see
the data (unless you have a web site set up to receive that data).
