I thought I’d blog this one since it caused me a quick headache. Granted I should just have followed the golden rule but on this occasion I thought it best to investigate.
A user wasn’t able to create a new appointment in Outlook 2003, try as I might I couldn’t get it to do it either. I came across a couple of posts on the ‘net about recreating the views by running Outlook with the /cleanviews and /resetfolders switches but neither did the trick effectively.
In the end it was a good old fashioned reboot that did the trick. My thanks go to Outlook Tips for help with sorting this one.

I had similar problem but reboot won’t solve the problem. tried /cleanviews and /resetfolders but nothing work. I am using outlook 2003.
I found a way to make it work. Procedures described below.
- switch to folder view (icon on the left bottom)
- right click on calendar under mailbox, select property
- in calendar properties, general tab
select “IPM.Appointment” in “When posting to this folder, use:”
I am able to create an appointment afterwards.
