Software
Hi, I have a user who is using Windows 2000 and Outlook 2000. suddenly whren she tries to save a task she is unable to do so. She gets an error message that Outlook is unable to save the task. Any ideas would be appreciated.
BTW, the error message she gets says "One or more parameter values are incorrect".

Can she save other items, like appointments, calendar events, notes?
I was not able to find anything on that error message. Is that verbatim?
Is the problem always there, or can she sometimes save tasks, sometimes not?
Try Help>Detect and Repair. This will often find a damaged file or setting. If it is just a setting, it seems to be able to fix it. If it is a file, it will ask you for the Office CD. My only complaint about Detect and Repair is that it doesn't tell you what it has done. If it doesn't ask for the CD, you don't even know if it found anything wrong.
Good luck. I'll check back to see how you did.

Is the task that the user is trying to save located in a pst file or the mailbox? If it's in the pst file I recommend running a repair on the file. To do so...
Navigate on the client machine to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033
and run scanpst.exe
repair the pst file. If the Task is saved in the mailbox there are similiar tools that can be run against mailboxes.

Doing the detect and repair did not help, so I did a right click on the Tasks folder, went to Properties, then Synchronize. I undid the filters, then I went back to Actions and did the Save task Order. After that, I had no problem saving tasks.
So, thanks again everyone!
