appointments always default to "today"

If I double click a date in month view in OL2003 the appointment view always
shows start and end date (for alarm) as "today" - can I change settings
somewhere so that default start and end dates are the date I just clicked
on?
 
Expected behavior. If you want to open an appointment for that date, click
in the day and press control+n.

Thanks Milly,
Time to change that I should think? Doesn't make sense! (still smiling)

Hi Milly,

I was just reading about the same problem we are having. I have Outlook
with Bus Contact Mgr and my calendar works just fine. I double click on a
day and my appointment window comes up on the day I clicked on; not todays
date. Or if I am on a day and go "New appointment", it comes up on the day I
clicked.

But on my sisters computer - she is running the same program also - it
always brings up todays date on an appointment window, no matter what day she
selected. Are you saying that every time she makes an entry she would have
to press control+n? Why don't I have to do that? I have used outlook for a
long time and this is the first time I have run into this problem.

Thanks for any help you can be. It is so inconvenient. Guess we are spoiled.

Hi everybody,

Does anybody have new information on this topic?

I have the same problem, and none of the proposed solutions does work.
neither the double-click nor the right-click and not even the File/New date
thing does work. It's always the present day and time preset!

Note: With this problem I have another (probably linked) problem: I can not
move any already existing appointments/dates from one day to the other by
drag&drop.
My courser always changes to an "closed"-Sign (canceled circle).

Does anyone else have this problem, too?
