Default Outlook 2007 calendar dropdown loses focus

When I try to use the dropdown calendar (entering a new appintment/task) and
as soon as I try to move the mouse over the calendar to click on a date, the
calendar disappears (loses focus). Can I/How can I fix this?

what os are you using? It's working fine on Vista - you might need to run
office diagnostics or it could be your video driver. You really don't need
to use that dialog though - type the date or date shortcuts in the field
instead.

Thanks, I'm using Vista...and I'm guessing now that its a Vista problem,
since I've noticed that it behaves similarly in other software (Quickbooks,
specifically), and it all worked fine in XP Pro.

Usually when it happens, the video card software gets blamed, but whatever
the cause, it's definitely something Vista related that doesn't affect
everyone.
