Hello,

I recently have been getting a "Operation Failed" whenever I try to
create any type of calendar event. I double click on the time and get
the error message. I have also tried right clicking and selecting New
Event but still get the error message.

Something else that may or may not have anything to do with this: At
about the same time this started happening, I lost the ability to
right click on any email. I went to reply to an email by right
clicking and selecting REPLY but couldn't even get the right click
menu to open up.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
 
First thing I would try is to clean up the forms cache.

To do so, follow these steps:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the Other tab, and then click Advanced Options.
3. Click Custom Forms.
4. Click Manage Forms.
5. Click Clear Cache.
6. Close all open windows, and then restart Outlook 2003.

If the above does not work, try the following.

Deleting the Forms Cache File:
The Frmcache.dat file is the primary file to delete. The Frmcache.dat
file serves as an index of the individual forms that have been cached
on the computer. Use the following steps to manually delete the
Frmcache.dat file. In addition, these steps delete all of the cached
forms on your computer, which are stored in subfolders of the
Forms folder.

1.. Quit Outlook.
2.. Search the Hard drive (<F3>) to locate the Frmcache.dat file.
(Be sure to check in HIDDEN files on W2K or WXP.)
3.. Delete all that are found from the FIND window.
4.. Open Outlook.

When you restart Outlook, and use a form, the forms cache
is re-created.

I stumbled on a solution that works for me:
File > Folder > Properties for Calendar > General > 'uncheck the box
for: Automatically generate MS Exchange views.
Hope it works for you!

Thanks for everyone's suggestions! It still is on the blink as the
steps above didn't quite work.
