When I pick a date and type in an item on the caledar in Outlook it will not
let me save it. I get the following message: "cannot save item."

More information, please...Outlook version? Personal Folders or Exchange
Mailbox? How many items already in the Calendar folder?

I think it is the latest...I'm not sure. Don't know where to look. I cannot
save information in the contact list past the first page (such as birthdates)
and if I try to type an item in for tomorrow's date, it won't let me save it.
I do have some things on my calendar back a year when I started using
Outlook. Should I go back and erase those. Just one or two on a page.

Now you're mentioning two different folders and types of items...Calendar and
Contacts. You're having trouble with Contacts also?

To find your version of Outlook, click the Help menu, then click About
Microsoft Office Outlook (older versions will just say About Microsoft
Outlook).

I have a client that is having the same problem. We are on Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003, and anytime she tries to enter in a new appointment under her default profile calender, she gets the message "cannot save item".

For now I have her using the calendar under her personal folders, but only until I get this resolved. I have been unsuccesful in finding anything really helpful on the net about this.

Thanks,
RC

Has she closed and restarted Outlook and rebooted her PC lately? You might
look at the Windows Task Manager after she closes Outlook and see if
something is keeping it open -- possibly a 3rd party add-in.
