'Lost' user defined fields in Calendar
I have 'lost' all my previous user-defined fields in my calendar and I
cant remember what they all were... After a few problems with my Outlook.pst I got all my data back. But in the process, I had to uninstall both Outlook 2003 and Caendar view add-in so I seem have lost my customised calendar views and the list of user-defined fields is now blank. But I remembered the name of one of the fields (called 'Client') and when I created it again and added to a view, all the old data was there. HURRAY! But I cant remember all the other field names (and there was some special format such as '?Status' as I could not use 'Status' as it is an existing Outllok field). 1. How do I get a list of user-defined fields I created for calendar events? 2. Any quick and easy way to get my cutomised views back? Thanks |

'Lost' user defined fields in Calendar
The key issue here is what did you do to "get all my data back."

'Lost' user defined fields in Calendar
Sue. Thanks for a reply. Well just about everything! Uninstall Outlook,
Calendar add-in and made a new profile. Then ran ScanPst... but the wierd thing is this: I now have the 'fresh' Outlook.pst with all the data. When I switch email account to one of my archive files (I archive by year so the files dont get so big), the calendar views are there in both the new and the archive file. So I created copies of the views from the archive file (show in all calendar views) and when i switch the email setting back, the copies are not there? I figure I will have to do this the long way... just use a piece of paper to write down the file names and then re-create them. |

'Lost' user defined fields in Calendar
By "fresh" .pst file, do you mean a new file with completely new folders? If so, it will contain no custom fields defined at the folder level. You will need to add the using the folder's Field Chooser. Copying a view does not copy custom property definitions.
