Cannot modify or delete recurring items
I am unable to edit or delete recurring appointments in Outlook 2002 on
Win7. I get an error saying "Can't open this item. The object is invalid." At one point it would tell me that I did not have permissions. If I copy the outlook.pst file to another user on the same computer (or another computer w/ WinXP) I am able to edit/delete the items. This happens for recurring items regardless of whether they are newly-created or have been on the calendar for months. Individual items work OK. I should note that I once deleted my ID on this computer and recreated it. It acts as if some sort of permissions are being denied based on the new credentials or something. But that makes no sense since the file works fine on other IDs. Anyway, I cannot find any explanation for this problem. I have uninstalled/reinstalled Office 2002 a couple of times to no avail. John

Tried resetting the the day/week/month view already?

Cannot modify or delete recurring items
Resetting the Current View didn't change anything. I am aware of at least
the password problem which isn't too annoying. The fact that the Day/Week/Month view works fine w/ recurring appointments if I merely copy it to another account on Win7 leads me to believe that this is some strange setting in my profile. However, I deleted all of the profile info I knew about after uninstalling Office with the hope that it would be recreated correctly when I reinstalled. John "Roady [MVP]" t wrote in message ...

It's not a strange setting in your profile- it may be related to the view
and possibly addins. I was aware of the problem months ago and could not repro it. I probably used a table view to open the appointments - it might only fail in Day/Week/Month.
