It appears I have an event (appointment)in my Outlook 2000 database which has an end date which is earlier than my start date. (An error pushed in from my PDA I suspect). I am unable to see it on the calander or anywhere else in outlook. I have ran the command line switch to clean up old appointments but every time I start Outlook I get a reminder of the appointment and when I try to dismiss it or open it I am told I can not because of the date conflict.
