Calendar defaults to current date and time

[Guest]

I have one user who has this problem. When creating an appointment, the date
and the time defaults to the current date and time, not to the selected
future date and time. From a calendar day view, I selected a future date,
say Jan 13. When I double-click say on 10AM, the appointment will come up
with today's date and time as the start time, rather than Jan 13, 10AM.
Tried in different views, still the same problem. This is with Outlook 2002
SP3.

The only way I found to resolve this problem was to export the Users entire
mail box, calendar, contacts, etc. to .pst files. Delete the exchange
account and then recreate the account and import the .pst files back.

If the user clicks in the date and uses File->New->Appointment, does that
work? Double clicking in the calendar will always bring up an event with
the current date and the default reminder for events (18 hours).
