Outlook stops responding when you import more than 255 attendees from a .SC2 file

Article ID: 281459

Article Last Modified on 1/29/2007



APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Outlook 2000 Service Pack 1



This article was previously published under Q281459

SYMPTOMS

When you try to import appointments with a very large list of attendees from a .SC2 file in Outlook 2000, one of the following two situations may occur:

  • Outlook stops responding with an access violation in memory management when it imports an offending appointment.
  • The import filter of Outlook 2000 imports Calendar data when an offending appointment is encountered.

In both cases parts of the .SC2 file remain unconsidered by the migration process and are missing from the Calendar folder afterwards.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because there is a limit to the number of attendees that you can have per appointment. You can have a maximum of 255 attendees per appointment during an import of .SC2 files.
