This problem occurs when the following conditions are true:

1. There are too many recurring appointments in the calendar of one mailbox.
2. You used Microsoft Outlook Web Access or any Document Authoring and Versioning (DAV) tool to access the calendar at least one time.

The RMTable property limits the number of appointments to 1360 appointments or to 32 kilobytes of appointment data. When the limit has been reached, the RMTable property cannot be opened. Therefore, new appointments cannot be saved, and existing appointments cannot be deleted.

After you install this hotfix, you can delete old recurring appointments so that the number of recurring appointments in the calendar is below the limit. After you delete the old recurring appointments, you can save new recurring appointments.
