It appears that months after an appointment is listed on my Outlook calendar,
the calendar is cleared. I'm not sure how much lag time, but I know I have
sometimes gone back say 6 months to reconstruct the dates of a meeting and
there are no appointments listed (except for reoccurring appointments, for
some reason?). Apparently, it clears appointments at some point when they are
6 months old or so? Is there a way to turn the clearing function off, or
maybe extend the clear date to 12 or 15 months? I can't seem to find anything
about this on MS Help. Thank you.

Either disable autoarchiving or open the archive using file, open, outlook
data file, when you need to view old events.

to disable archiving on that folder only, right click on it and choose
properties. Remove the option to archive on the archive tab. To disable it
for all folders, go to tools, options, other, archiving.

I have the same problem as CamrySteve but all my appointments in my diary
(other than recurring or birthdays) have dissapeared from mid November 2008
to mid February 2009. Although Auto Archive was set to a 14 day reminder but
I have never archived anything in the las 2 years I am at a loss to know
where the information has gone?

Any ideas?

So items older than Nov are there? Do you sync with a handheld device? Maybe
got a new device in early Dec?

Thanks for that. I have now disabled autoarchive but even when it was enabled
I have always said NO to the 14 day reminder to archive. If I open the
archive file it appears to be a replica of the normal file I use to store
data i.e. there is no data prior to mid February 2009 other than recurring
and birthdays. I should have said in the last post that there is no data
proir to mid February.

To the question about a handheld device the answer is YES, I started to
synchronise data with a Blackberry Bold 9000 from mid December.
The Blackberry appears to reflect the data in Outlook, that is to say
nothing other than the recurring events prior to mid February.

A Blackberry's default behavior is to delete older items, which during a sync
would permanently remove them from Outlook. You should configure the
Blackberry to retain older items indefinitely.

The blackberry deleted it. Default is to delete after two weeks and when
its deleted on the device, the next sync deletes in Outlook. On the BB,
open the calendar, open the menu and find Options - how long to keep is on
the bottom. Forever works. Use Autoarchive in outlook if you need to
clean off the BB - when its removed from outlook, its removed from the BB.
