Outlook2007: Can't get calendar to view in home page. Won't show appointments
or anything. There is another calendar in my drop down calendar menu, that
doesn't have anything on it. It won't delete and I can't seem to figure out
how to get the calendar I use to come up when I first open Outlook.

What "home page" is that?

What drop-down calendar menu are you using? Where do you see it? What else
besides the calendar you don't want does it contain? I don't have a clear
picture of what you're observing.

It is Outlook Today. (Comes up when Outlook opens) The section header is
titled "Personal Folders - Outlook Today" It's supposed to show your
appointments for the week (from your calendar) in the middle pane, and it
shows tasks on the right pane, with a navigation pane on the left that
contains all your folders such as favorites, mail folders, etc. - This is
where I'm unable to view my selected calendar.

On the far left pane is the "navigation pane" It has calendar on it, you
click on it and it will take me to the calendar I want to view because that
calendar is selected to view under "My calendars" in the calendar navigation
pane.

I hope that helps! - Thank you for asking for more specifics you need to
help me.

How many calendars do you have? Outlook Today only shows items from the
default calendar.

There are 3. One is " Calendar in Archive Folders" One is the calendar I
use for everything (I only use 1 calendar), and the other is the one that
opens, but it has nothing on it. It's the one I can't delete. (It must be
selected as the default calendar.) If Outlook Today only shows the default
calendar, how do I select the Outlook calendar that I've been using as my
default calendar?

you need to set the pst the calendar in as the default delivery location or
move everything from the one calendar to the other one.

You're using the wrong calendar to hold the data you "use for everything".
Use your default calendar for that.
