Help. I am getting an error every time a contact or calendar event is created or edited. The error message says "..parameter is not valid" and suggests the my file may be read only or permissions not set. This started happening after Office 97 was upgraded to Office XP, Educational edition on an Win 98 system. The outlook.pst file is NOT read only. No permissions in Win98, of course. I ran scanpst.exe and that did not help. I read somewhere that some cross linking of records may cause that, but checking for that did not help. I created a new outlook data file (leaving the outlook.pst there) and I still got the error. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
