Today, I either noticed something or something changed in Outlook 2007.

When I'm in my Calendar, I no months appears in the top of the navigation
pane unless I close or minimize the To-Do bar.

Its really bugging me. Any ideas?

I did try Outlook.exe /resetnavpane
 
you mean the little thumbnails? they will only be on one side or the other.
you can remove them from the to-do bar (right click on the title area to see
the options)
 
I mean the 7 by 6 grid showing a month calendar with the little arrows to
each side of the month's name. Lets call it a calendar control.

Suddenly, I've noticed that I can't easily navigate across months when I
could do it easily in 2003 when mulitple months were shown on the left nav
pane.

Yes, I do see that I can see multiple months in the to-do bar with 3 clicks,
a delete, typing a number, and another click. Wow that's hard. Or I can
minimize the to-do bar with one click and I get the nice multi-months in the
nav bar that I like but then loose the to-do bar because its state is
maintained across mail/calendar/contacts.

Its weird. Not until yesterday did I notice the multi-month nav was gone and
now it is wigging me out as I do some multi-month planning. Though, I can
understand the potential confusion of having two calendar controls; one on
each side.

Thanks for confirming my insanity of not noticing this until now. :-)
 
you can have multiple months in the to-do bar - set it for 1 and then drag
the to-do bar wider when you need to see more navigation calendars, slide it
in when you don't need to see so many. And as long as you don't close the
to-do, it's easy to expand when you leave the calendar... either with a
mouse click or Alt+F2 (it rolls through open, minimize, close the to-do bar)
