Default Group calendar stranegly loses appointments a while after theire m

We have a strange problem with our shared outlook calendar. We use the calendar as a group calendar in outlook and as a live, web based version from the exact same calendar. Both using exchange. Our employees use our intranet asp application to request days off, and the intranet automatically puts those as appointments in our calendar.

The problem is that these appointments are all shown ok in the web based calendar, but that the outlook calendar seems to forget the appointments after a while, and doesn’t; display them anymore. This is strange because both calendars works on exactly the same way. It gets even stranger: if you open one of the appointments in the web calendar that are not shown in de outlook calendar they appear in the outlook calendar the same moment, and won’t disappear again. I’ve checked if opening the appointment changes the source file the appointment is stored in, but it stays exactly the same.

I really don’t know how to solve this. Maybe it is possible to simulate opening the appointment right after you save it by the intranet, but I don’t know how. I’m not experienced in exchange so if anyone has seen this or know what might be the problem I would be really happy to hear..

We are running:
Windows 2000 server and Exchange 2000 with the latest service packs.
Our client pc’s use Windows XP and Outlook XP with latest service pack.

Thanks in advance..
