Just upgraded to Office 2003 and installed service pack 2. My PST file
opened just fine, though I seem to have two of the same "personal folders"
-- Inbox tress in my folder view list.

I have only one calendar with a checkbox when I click the Calendar Shortcut,
and when I create a new appointment and click "Save and Close" it does not
save it. No error message given, it just doesn't put anything on the
calendar at all.

FYI: I have no filters set, and the current view for calendar is
month/week/day.

When I change the view to "Active Appointments" there is nothing on the list.

How do I tell Outlook to save my appointments in the correct calendar? I
have only one Calendar checkbox item when I click the Outlook shortcut for
"Calendar".

More FYI:

In the Category view, the appointment I just created shows up under the
category: Business, but it says "none" for the start and end dates. Dates
entered were 2/10/06.

Yet more info:

With Advanced Find the "In Folder" Location for these dateless appointments
is "Calendar" -- just like the old appointments that I imported from my
outlook 2000 pst file. Those old appointments do show up on the calendar
with dates, but the new onesa are not saving the date and time at all.

I face exactly the same problem. Posted a thread some time ago. No reply.

OK -- here's how I solved the "dateless appointment" problem in Outlook 2003.

I believe that there may be undocumented incompatabilities between Office
2000 Premium-SR1 and the upgrade to Office 2003.

I ran the ScanPST utility from outside of Outlook on my PST file 5 times
before it stoped "repairing errors" but this alone did not restore my
appointment dates.

First, I opened Outlook with the /cleanreminders command line switch to get
rid of the annoying 370+ reminders that popped up for appointments long-past.

Then I closed the program, and started it with the /cleanpst switch. Make
sure you backup your PST file to your desktop or the network first. Outlook
creates a new PST file for you with this switch. It will be be named
outlook1.pst or similar and should be easy to tell apart from the other PSTs
in the folder due to it's very small file size. So, close out of Outlook and
rename or delete this new file, as well as renmaing your "real PST" file.

Upon starting Outlook (normally this time or with /safe if ou have stability
issues) the program will complain that it cannot find your PST file. I
pointed it at mty recently renamed "real PST" file and it loaded it up. I
then went to category view for the calendar and deleted every meeting and
appointment. Closed out of Outlook normally, rebooted XP just to be on the
safe side, and launched back into Outlook. With the old entries and their
reminders all gone, Outlook now allows me to save dates and times on the
calendar for my appointments.

Of course, some of these steps may be redundant or unecessary, but I am in
no mood to try and recreate this problem for further testing.



Good Luck with your calendar!
