Can't create new calendar appointment. Nothing happens!

[Guest]

I can't create a new calendar appointment in Outlook 2003 until I reboot the
computer. I can't do it from the file menu of by double clicking on the date
or by right clicking on the date and selecting the option to make a new
appointment.

A known issue that MVPs have made Microsoft aware of and are waiting for a
response.
