Challenge:
In my Outlook 2003, I could not use my right click with all mail/calendar items, and whenever I tried to open a recurring event I got an “object not found” error message. Any new event setup after my issue was fine.
Steps I took in vail:
- Cleared forms cache in Outlook
- Ran detect/repair option from Outlook
- Deleted Outlook Profile, rebooted, setup profile again
- Uninstalled and reinstalled Office suites including Outlook.
Working Solution:
After researching on the Internet, got an instruction as the following:
Try deleting the “frmcache.dat” file (or renaming it frmcache.bak if you areof a nervous disposition), because it’s probably corrupt. It can be found in
“Local Settings\application data\microsoft\forms”.
When you re-open Outlook it will re-create the file, and the problem will (hopefully) be gone.
I closed my outlook and did the step above, when I re-start the Outlook, wola~~~, everything is working back fine now.
Hope it will be helpful for you too.
Wonderful solution. Ran into the same issue on PC refresh. Issue resolved on deleting the specified file. Saw outlooking creating the file.

I get that message when trying to close an archived .pst (not *the* Archive Folder) and your method didn’t work for that case. I’m using Outlook 2002.

OK solved it. I search the registry (using regedit) for the archive file name. IIRC it was located in one of those long numeric registry entries – I simply deleted the entire numeric registry entry. Fixed.

This solution worked for me. Thanks! It also fixed the issue I had moving messages to my calendar. The error was something like: the object could not be found it may have been moved or deleted.

By the way, I am using Outlook 2007 and the problem and solution were the same.

It also worked for me but I also tried removing outlook cache mode, exit from outlook and checked cache mode again as suggested here http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Office_Productivity/Groupware/Outlook/Q_23378222.html. Not sure which one worked for sure but thank you for sharing your solution.

Same thing for me, I am using Outlook 2007 and the problem and solution were the same.

This page was more helpful than Microsoft’s official web site. Thanks for the effective fix.
[Reply]
I followed the same directions (for windows 7) and I am still receiving the message, why would Microsoft program error messages so vague? it’s beyond me.

How about another article like this? Very entertaining. I took creative writing back in my youth, and this had the few most important things of a good article, engaging and fun to read. Cheers.
