Does Outlook archive past events in a calendar? See detail...?

Question

I am trying to pull up old meetings from last year in my Outlook calendar and i do not see them. Do they automatically archive or do they just remove themselves from the calendar after they expire?

Answer 1

it depends if you have the AutoArchive feature on.

to check it, right click on your Calendar icon and select Properties.  Go to the AutoArchive tab and check the settings.

FYI...if you turn it off, outlook will keep your appointments forever.

Answer 2

I did not find a calender in outlook express but if you are talking about calender in Microsoft Works they should be saved in a file.

If not you can always look in history on your computer or do a search for your files under calender.

Searching for files and foldersWindows offers a number of ways to find files and folders.

Search Companion offers the most direct way to locate a file. Use Search Companion if you are looking for common file types, if you remember all or part of the name of the file or folder you want to find, or if you know when you last changed a file. If you know only part of the name, you can use wildcard characters to locate all files or folders that include that part in the name. For example, *letter.* will find Holiday letter.doc, Special letter.doc, and Special letter.txt. For more information, click Related Topics.

Windows Explorer provides a quick way to see all the files and folders on your computer, and it is also a good way to copy or move files from one folder to another. Use Windows Explorer if you know where the file or folder is located.

My Computer provides a simpler view of the folders on your computer. Use My Computer if you want to work with a number of files in one folder, or if you want to reorganize the contents of a folder by creating new subfolders or renaming subfolders.

My Network Places provides a view of all the shared computers, files and folders, printers, and other resources on the network to which your computer is connected. My Network Places presents a view of the network similar to the view of your computer presented by Windows Explorer. Use My Network Places when you want to see all the resources available on the network, when you know where the resource you want is located, or when you want to copy files and folders from one network location to another.
