O2K Public Folder Calendar problem… (Outlook 2000/sp1)

I have a user who is the only one having a problem with this calendar. There is a calendar setup in Public Folders and 20 or 30 user’s have access to it. When she accesses it using the Outlook 2000 client all of the appt’s and stuff are srewed up. When she accesses it using OWA everything is fine. Just for fun I logged into my PC as her and setup her profile and the problem in the client persisted. I was surprised as I thought it was a problem on her computer. It doesn’t look that way at all now. I was thinking of renaming her local Windows 2K user profile and than logging off and logging back on as her so that a new local Windows 2K user profile would be created on that machine. I would than create her Outlook profile again and see what happens. Any other ideas? Again, she is the only user having this problem. The calendar is fine on everyone else’s computer. Thanks for your help.

I think recreating the profile is worth a shot. Not too sure this will help with a Public calendar, but close Outlook and all Outlook windows (separate calendars, messages, tasks, etc.), and from the command line restart Outlook with the following three switches, and the path edited to suit the users’ installation:

“C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeOUTLOOK.EXE” /cleanreminders /cleanfreebusy /cleanviews

Are you using AD in your network? It kind of sounds like a user policy problem. We’ve had other problems like this – but not yours. Had to delete the user account from the domain and recreate it.

We are using AD on the network. I was figuring that deleting the account and recreating it would be a last resort. If nothing else works, what else is there to do but that? Thanks for the help.
