In Outlook 2007, the Contacts box for linking items to contacts does not appear by default. You will need to turn it on -- Tools | Options | Contact Options | Show Contact Linking on All Forms.

outlook 2003-I would love to know how to assign a contact to an appt then
find all appts that were assigned! Please tell me how...that's exactly what
I came on to find out!
Also, If I select a contact first, is there a way I can then make a new appt
and their name & phone number automatically fill in, so all I have to do is
enter the time and/or date?
Thanks a ton! DJ

Grouping a table view By Contact should show you all the appointments grouped by the contacts they are assigned to.
Your second task can be accomplished only by writing custom code.
