The only reference I can find to this error concerns Outlook 98. However, it appears that there is nothing to say that it couldn't happen in later versions. That in mind, I commit the support no-no and paste the KB article here. Let us know how it goes and we'll see where to turn next. Good luck! OL98: Cannot Locate Recurrence Information for this Appointment [Q195748] PSS ID Number: Q195748 Article last modified on 07-31-1999 WINDOWS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Outlook 98 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- SYMPTOMS ======== When starting Microsoft Outlook 98, you may receive the following error message: The operation failed. After you click OK, you may also receive the following: There was a problem reading one or more of your reminders. Some reminders may not appear. Cannot locate recurrence information for this appointment. The above errors may also occur while importing items from a Calendar folder located in a Personal Store (.pst) file. CAUSE ===== A recurring item in the Calendar folder may be damaged. WORKAROUND ========== To reset the recurrence pattern information and correct this behavior, follow these steps: 1. Click to select the Calendar folder. 2. On the View menu, point to Current View, and click Recurring Appointments. 3. Open the damaged item. If you don't know which item it is, perform the remaining steps on each item. 4. On the Actions menu, click Recurrence. 5. In Appointment Recurrence, click OK. You may receive the following message: Any exceptions associated with this recurring appointment will be lost. If any of the exceptions are meetings, the attendees will not be notified. Is this OK? NOTE: This means any changes you made to individual occurrences of the item will be lost and the new recurrence pattern will be set. Click OK if you receive this message. 6. Save and close the item. Outlook should start without receiving these errors.
