I have been using Outlook 2003 since 2003 with no problems, running under
Windows XP since its release and with no problems -- until today. Now I
cannot create, edit or delete anything in the calendar -- even though email
and tasks and notes still work just fine. Also, when I am in Outlook Today
and go to click on an appointment, I receive the message "Unable to display
the folder. Microsoft Office Outlook could not access the specified folder
location." I don't have manyh appointments (maybe 50), so should not be up
against a ceiling there. I have not installed new software for about 6
months. The only change is the automatic Windows updates, although I don't
know that the updates are a problem. Also I realize that sometimes the
registry is involved, but that idea makes me nervous. Any ideas?

Have you shut down Outlook recently or rebooted? That usually clears up the
problem.
