My calendar appers to be frozen or locked - I can view content of each day,
yet not make any changes to existing appointments, add in new appointments or
view any notes associated with appointments currently on calendar. Working
with Microsoft Outlook 2003 - please help!
 
how many appointments do you have in the calendar? did you make a new pst
with outlook 2003 or upgrade from 2003 or earlier?
 
Hi Diane, I'll Just post in this thread. I have a user here as well which
seems to have the same problem. He can not create any new action in his
calendar. This is now for several days. I have checked every available
setting regarding the calendar but can not find any setting which could cause
this problem. I can access his calendar remotely from my space and completely
use it as it is. The only thing which is still possible with his calendar is
start typing something into the fields (without firstly double-clicking in
the field, because this isn't opening the detailed field). When you try to
exit the edited field he gets an error message that outlook is unable to save
the item.

What could be the cause here? I need to restart the server over the weekend
anyway so I'll let you guys know if this has helped. I'm not sure though if
the people on here with the same problem have their accounts on a server as
well or just locally.

Thanks for the help
Jan

Try shutting down the workstation and restarting.

Hi

When I run outlook on my laptop and I'm not connected to exchange, it
normally says: Disconnected. At that time I cannot make any changes.
When I change the state to offline, I can add new items.

So maybe the user has problems being connected / disconnected???

(Lower-right corner you can change the status)
