I have a situation where a recurring appt was sent to my supervisor and
afterwards the organizer sent a cancellation but the appts did not cancel on
my supervisor's calendar. Now I cannot open or even change the appt to free
time. When I click on the item I get an error message that the operation
failed and an object could not be found. I have absolutely no idea of what
that means. I even tried opening Outlook in Safe Mode but same story. I just
want to get these appts off of her calendar. Does anyone have any idea of
why this is happening and how to resolve? We use Outlook 2003. Thanks.

Try opening Outlook with the /cleanreminders switch:

Start > Run > outlook.exe /cleanreminders
(note the space between outlook.exe and /cleanremiders

Windows Vista & 7:

Start > Start Search > outlook.exe /cleanreminders
(same space)

Let me know if that works or doesn't work.

Before I do so, will that have any negative effect on the other appts on her
calendar?

I took a chance before hearing back from you. Unfortunately it did not work.

No, it just deletes all reminders so outlook can regenerate them.

Do you have the actual canceled appointment on your calendar? If so, I don't
think cleanreminders will help (but it won't hurt either). Switch to All
appointments view - can you delete the appointment?
