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.

OK, this is very odd: if I go to View->Current View and change to Recurring
Appointments I am then able to manipulate a recurring appointment from that
view.

Outlook 2002 cannot be used reliably on Windows 7. It is not compatible.

I'd try starting Outlook once with the /cleanviews command switch and I'd also
clear the forms cache.
