Diane,
Thank you for your reply. I am not hitting Ctrl+S. While I do not have any
mapped drives, I do have a usb connected external drive that I use for backup
plus a bunch of card reader drives which, if I'm not mistaken, are connected
internally to a usb header.
In trying to recreate the problem however, here is some more info I came up
with. This only happens the first time I open Outlook after starting the
computer.
I have Outlook set to open to my calendar in day view. As long as I stay on
the current day, everything is fine. When I click the arrow to advance to
the next day or go back a day, the save as dialog opens.
I have to save the file with a new name in order to get rid of the save as
dialogue and continue working. I can continue to open and close Outlook with
no further problems until the next time I start the computer.
This one is so confusing to me that I don't even know where to start.

Outlook 2007 installed on Win XP SP2
My installation is not on a network and I don't share calendars or publish
them to the web (or anywhere else for that matter). I enter my
appointments
by typing directly into the day view of the calendar. I do not enter by
bringing up the new appointment dialogue.
Randomly, a Save As window pops up and the program freezes, sometimes for
hours, other times I give up after leaving it overnight. The program is
trying to get me to save the calendar as an iCal (*.ics) file.
I have already disabled all plugins except my antivirus plugin (Kaspersky)
and Microsoft VBA for Outlook.
Can anybody help me get rid of this annoying problem?
TIA
Roberta
