cant open the activities tab in outlook 2003

I'm having a problem with opening the activities tab in outlook 2003. When i
create a journal entry it works fine, but when i go in to view the entry in
the activities tab i get an error message that says i cant open this tab. Can
someone help me please?

Could be a forms problem, try the following:

To clean up the forms cache.

To do so, follow these steps:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the Other tab, and then click Advanced Options.
3. Click Custom Forms.
4. Click Manage Forms.
5. Click Clear Cache.
6. Close all open windows, and then restart Outlook.

If the above does not work, try the following.

Deleting the Forms Cache File:
The Frmcache.dat file is the primary file to delete. The Frmcache.dat
file serves as an index of the individual forms that have been cached
on the computer. Use the following steps to manually delete the
Frmcache.dat file. In addition, these steps delete all of the cached
forms on your computer, which are stored in subfolders of the
Forms folder.

1.. Quit Outlook.
2.. Search the Hard drive (F3) to locate the Frmcache.dat file.
(Be sure to check in HIDDEN files on W2K or WXP.)
3.. Delete all that are found from the FIND window.
4.. Open Outlook.

When you restart Outlook, and use a form, the forms cache
is re-created.

This didn't help, once i opened outlook again and tried to look at the
activities tab it still has the same error o f "Outlook cann't display this
view". I have tried to change the different views and nothing. Would a pst
scan help?

I don't think it’s a problem with the pst that scanpst would fix, but it
won't hurt to try. But... I would restart outlook with the /cleanviews
switch first.
