Also if you try to open the appointment you get an error as well.
The reminder for the meeting keeps poping up over and over again.
Tried closing Outlook and typing on the run line (in windows go to Start menu and select Run):
outlook /cleanfreebusy
(The above command opens Outlook and cleans the free/busy information)
closed Outlook and opened Outlook again from the run line:
outlook /cleanreminders
(The above command opens Outlook and cleans the reminders)
This has worked for me in the past but not this time.
I was finally able to fix the problem by deleting the corrupted meeting with the following procedure:
When the reminder pops up make note of the meeting date and time .
Select the Calender folder
Change the view to "By Category" see below for Outlook 2003.
This is how you change to "By Category" view in Outolook 2000
Sort Category view by start date and locate the problem meeting and delete it.
You may get an error saying that the meeting was not deleted properly but at least it is gone.

Thanks. This was driving me a little crazy. Not the simplest fix in the world, but did the trick.
Thank you. Great instructions for an error that will drive anyone nuts.
Thank you. It had been driving me nuts since 2 years. This did the trick.
THANKS. It has been driving me crazy for the past 1.5 years. Simple and works.
What if the "offending appointment" does not appear on the list to delete? Still frustrated....
Thank you so much. I have been frustrated with this and it kept affecting my blackberry. Simple fix and problem resolved. Thanks again.
Colly O,
I should be there. Do you have more then one calendar? If you are using Outlook in cached mode that may cause an issue. Try deleting the .ost file or turning off outlook caching.

Magic! Thanks for that! Such a simple thing and so much agro...
Great and quick fix. 1 week was enough I can't image folks with more than a week of annoyance.
Thank you.
I had every 5 min a remider end that was very irritating.
Our ICT dept proposed to ask the meeting initiator to delete the meeting, but that did not help.
But now it is solved.
Pffffffffffffff....thanks

To my good fortune accidentally somebody called me up,it turned out it was my friend)). He advised me an interesting software - recovery ost files,which I used and was discouraged,reason of its restore all my damaged emails for seconds. And as I knew later for free. I have been using the program for 2 weeks. I have been glad...
