Because I am trying to produce a template appointment layout which can be
saved ready to use on the desktop or perhaps an outlook folder over and over.
If i create a new appointment and hit save and close then one instance of
that appointment is saved in the calendar. Once the template is prepared then
save and close would be fine.

by selecting file save as i am given the three choices of file format
stated in my last post.

I accept that this may not be the appropriate method but it would be simpler
if the correct one was told to me from start to finish as my inexperience
with outlook is pretty obvious to be fair

Why are you choosing FileSave As and not just pressing Save and Close?
