MS Outlook...stupid question?

[jlo mein]

When it comes to the calendar in Outlook i'm dumbfound...how do you view an event/appointment in the Calendar?

I create it, but then i can't see it in any of the views except for the events view or the active appointments view. It doesn't show up in the weekly/daily view etc.

I've been using a Calendar program in Motorola phone tools thats similar and it works fine...

Open Outlook. In the menu bar click "View>Go To>Calender". If you want to create an appointment then "right click" in the time slot/space you want and select "new appointment".

edit: In addition, after you create the appointment then look up at the toolbar and select what view you want: 1 Day, 5 Work Week, 7 Week, 31 Month, etc.

I know this sounds really stupid, but I did EXACTLY as what you said and I can't see appointments unless i go to the "view events" or "view active appointments" view.

It should be as easy as what you say, yet it doesn't show up. I have tried it with 2 versions of Outlook now and it has not worked on my pc with either.

I know I sound like some sort of super computer newb, but I do know my way around most things, I just honestly don't know why this won't work.

Is there some sort of initial setup i have to go through to get this to work?
