Recurring Events: Can't open this item. The operation failed.
When in calendar mode in Outlook 2003, I get the error in the subject
line every time I try to open a recurring event. This only occurs with the views: Day/Week/Month, Day/Week/Month View with Autopreview. In all of the other view, I can open and edit any event, including the recurring ones. As a test, I successfully created a new recurring event in Day/Week/ Month view, but could not open it after it was created, except in the other non-calendar-ish views... This is driving me nuts as everything was working perfectly fine until this morning. I have scoured this group and others to find a solution, but nothing I have tried has worked. The things I have tried a Detect and Repair scanpst Help!!!! |

Recurring Events: Can't open this item. The operation failed.
First thing I would try is to clean up the forms cache.
To do so, follow these steps: 1. On the Tools menu, click Options. 2. Click the Other tab, and then click Advanced Options. 3. Click Custom Forms. 4. Click Manage Forms. 5. Click Clear Cache. 6. Close all open windows, and then restart Outlook 2003. If the above does not work, try the following. Deleting the Forms Cache File: The Frmcache.dat file is the primary file to delete. The Frmcache.dat file serves as an index of the individual forms that have been cached on the computer. Use the following steps to manually delete the Frmcache.dat file. In addition, these steps delete all of the cached forms on your computer, which are stored in subfolders of the Forms folder. 1.. Quit Outlook. 2.. Search the Hard drive (F3) to locate the Frmcache.dat file. (Be sure to check in HIDDEN files on W2K or WXP.) 3.. Delete all that are found from the FIND window. 4.. Open Outlook. When you restart Outlook, and use a form, the forms cache is re-created. Nikki Peterson "j" wrote in message ps.com...

Hi Nikki & All-
I tried these same things, but neither worked. I even tried deleting everything for outlook from my "Documents and Settings" folder, which worked for ONE launch of Outlook. When I opened outlook a 2nd time, same problem. Then, I tried uninstalling all of MS office and reinstalling - same problem. It seems this outlook is getting something in the sync that causes this problem, but my other PCs are all still working fine. Thoughts?

It's weird. rayswchiu " wrote: On Mar 13, 12:24 am, JON wrote: I am having the exact same problem stating today. I tried everything listed without any luck. Help Please!!
