Contacts automatically attached to appointments...

[Danimalindy]

I have not used Office 2007 till today. When I used the old school version
(2003 I believe) of Outlook, I could add a new contact, then create a
calendar event (appointment). It would automatically link that person. Now
it does not. I don't want to create a "meeting" because these are reminders
for ME to call on these specific contacts (customers). How can I have it
where when I click on the "Activities" Tab, that the appointment is attached
to the appropriate contact/customer. Please help...this shouldn't be this
hard!

In 2007 the link is turned off by Default settings. Fix it here:

tool | options | contact options | show Contact linking on all forms.

Here's another tip to go along with Judy's: In the contact, go ahead and
click the Meeting command to create a new meeting request. Then, when it
opens, click Cancel Invitation. You'll be left with a normal appointment with
a linked contact.
