I would do two things:
ONE:
I think you should try using the ".../CleanViews" Command-Line
Switch for Outlook. This restores default views. NOTE: All custom
views you created are lost. This is very simple in that all you do is
open outlook, but not by clicking the icon.
I would also use the ".../CleanFreeBusy" switch to rebuild your
free/busy info on the server.
Instructions for Outlook 2007
See the following link for information on how to use
this switch VERY EASY:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP012185891033.aspx
Or if you use Outlook 2003
The following page explains the Command-Line switches for 2003:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP010031101033.aspx
The command line looks kinda like (Depends on what version of Outlook
you are using as to WHERE your Outlook.exe file is located):
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe " /CleanViews
Note: Paths that include spaces between words must be enclosed in quotation
marks (") and are case sensitive.
TWO:
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.

My Outlook calender linked to a sbs 2003 server has suddenly stopped
allowing
me to enter any new appointments unless I drag them from another calender
such as the office group.
Also the dates in the monthly calender is not showing bold on dates when
there is activity booked
