Cannot add appointment into Outlook Calendar

[Guest]

Within the last week, when trying to add a new appointment to my calender, I
get an error message that reads: "Could not complete the operation. One or
more parameter values are not valid." I have tried to do some searching for
what that message means, and what to do to fix it, with no luck. As far as I
know all my other Outlook 2003 functions are working.

Have you shutdown Outlook and rebooted Windows?

Simply close Outlook (File->Exit) and then shutdown Windows (Start->Shutdown->Select Restart from the dropdown->Okay)

Then yes, I have turn my computer off and on a few times in the last few
days, and have always closed out of outlook befor doing so.

I'm stuck with the same issue - have you found a fix yet?

A number of similar posts on this forum seem to have gone unanswered... apart from the standard clear cache/pc reboot suggestions!
