Outlook 2000 Calendar (Outlook 2000 with all updates)

[MauryS]

Recently one of my customers got his system (Windows NT SP6a en Office 2000 both fully updated) messed up and his Outlook no longer worked properly. Since there was a backup copy of the PST, I first removed Outlook and then re-installed it. I then imported from the backup file all of the information I needed. However, I have found a couple of unusual things. I now have an agenda under Outlook Today - [Personal Folders] and also a second copy of the same agenda. It looks like I have two databases of mail. Both Calendars contain the same information, but there is one very major difference- in the Calendar under Personal Folders the alarm function works, but under the second Calendar which has a different name, the alarm function does not exist. I now have two questions:
1.) is it possible to add the alarm function to a calendar which I have manually created?
2.) is it possible to select all of the events in one calendar and to import them into another calendar, without creating duplicates? If so, how do I do this?

1. In native Outlook, Reminders only fire in the default folders, Calendar, Task, Inbox, etc. Ken Slovak's Extended Reminders will fire reminders on non-default folders, which is what you want.

2. Not that I know of in Native Outlook, though you may be able to prune the dups manually very efficiently by using a table View. Sperry has Appointment Duplicates Eliminator, you might look around further for a free equivalent.
