Problem with calendar on Outlook2003 on Exchange 2003.
Hello!
I have Outlook 2003 installed on a client´s PC, and for some time it was working fine. Suddenly, the client could not make new appointments in Calendar anymore.
Error message: "Failed to save object."
Facts:
Exchange 2003 sp2
Outlook 2003 with all service packs
Running on XP sp2.
problem exists ALSO on OWA!
Problem ONLY affects this one user, all other users are working fine.
Tried so far:
Cleaning up users mailbox, so its now only 1 gig.
Reinstalled Outlook/PC and made new Outlook data file. (After this was done, user was fine for about a week, then the problem came back. )
Made secondary local calendar, and that works fine.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards, HAX.

It doesnt follow the user to another PC. Installed Outlook on another PC, and it worked fine.
But then again, it also worked fine on the clients PC for a while.
So what do you propose i do?
I would hate a format of this machine.

First thing to confirm is whether the problem follows the user to another PC.
If it follows to another machine then it is an issue with their mailbox - export the contents and recreate.
If it doesn't follow the user to another PC then the problem is with the original machine.
One of the following will fix the issue - nothing else will resolve the problem.
1. Recreate the Outlook profile.
2. Recreate the Windows profile.
3. Wipe the machine.
