Something weird has happened recently. My calendar is gone. But not really.

I use Outlook 2007 SP1 on Vista. My mailbox is on an Exchange 2007 server.

If I click the Calendar shortcut on the navigation pane, nothing happens.

If I press CTRL-2, nothing happens

If I go to the "Go" menu and select "Calendar", nothing happens

If I go the folder list, there is no calendar folder. Nada.

HOWEVER...All of my appointments show up in the To Do bar, and if I
right-click on the calendar shortcut on the navigation pane and select "Open
in new window", my calendar opens. This is the only way that I can get into
my calendar.

What the heck is going on?

it sounds like the nav pane is messed up - I'd try restarting outlook with
the /resetnavpane switch and if that fails, make a new profile. Oh... and if
you haven't rebooted, I'd do that first - it might just need a reboot. (A
restart of just outlook might fix it - make sure it's closed completely
before restarting.)

I tried the /resetnavpane and created a new profile, no joy.

Yes, I've restarted my computer.

When I go to OWA, the Calendar folder does not appear in the folder list,
but the shortcut in the OWA nav pane works.

Any other ideas?

did it get moved? what is the folder path when you access it? (either in owa
or outlook- show the web toolbar in outlook and look in the address field)

Good idea. I turned on the web toolbar and the calendar shows up as
Outlook:Calendar

that's the default location. A new profile should fix it, but its weird that
its not visible in OWA. Was this a new mailbox created on the server or did
they move the mailbox to the server?

We migrated from Exchange 2003 to 2007 recently, but that was about 4 months
ago, nothing that I'm aware of has changed on the server since then.

The only thing that changed recently that I can think of, is I installed
Office SP1. It was shortly after that that I started noticing the calendar
problems.
