All of a sudden I am unable to add an appointment. It will simply not open up
and I cannot access any existing appointments

First thing I would try is to clean up the forms cache.

To do so, follow these steps:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the Other tab, and then click Advanced Options.
3. Click Custom Forms.
4. Click Manage Forms.
5. Click Clear Cache.
6. Close all open windows, and then restart Outlook 2003.

If the above does not work, try the following.

Deleting the Forms Cache File:
The Frmcache.dat file is the primary file to delete. The Frmcache.dat
file serves as an index of the individual forms that have been cached
on the computer. Use the following steps to manually delete the
Frmcache.dat file. In addition, these steps delete all of the cached
forms on your computer, which are stored in subfolders of the
Forms folder.

1.. Quit Outlook.
2.. Search the Hard drive (<F3>) to locate the Frmcache.dat file.
(Be sure to check in HIDDEN files on W2K or WXP.)
3.. Delete all that are found from the FIND window.
4.. Open Outlook.

When you restart Outlook, and use a form, the forms cache
is re-created.

I assume you've rebooted the computer - if not, try it. There seems to be a
problem (ok, several) with SP3 and also with a recent update. Rebooting
appears to fix the issue with the update and it may fix the problem with
SP3. If not, it needs escalated to Microsoft support by the administrator as
I don't know that anyone has a solution yet.

Some of the problems are the result of various security features added to
sp3 - most are documented and there are reg keys to undo them (see
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2003/ol2003sp3.htm for links to the kb
articles). One does involve custom forms but the symptoms don't seem
right... and since you don't think you are using custom forms, its probably
not the cause.
