SYMPTOMS
If you try to view a Calendar that has a corrupted First Day Of Week field in a recurring meeting, Outlook 2002 stops responding (hangs).
CAUSE
This problem occurs because of a problem in Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) that causes the corrupted data to be placed in the recurring meetings. This problem was fixed by a CDO hotfix in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

Apply the hotfix that is in the "Resolution" section of this article to Outlook 2002, and it masks the loop that is caused by the bad data so that you have access to the Calendar while you apply the Microsoft Exchange Server hotfix on your server.
