Tish said:Until recently I've found this a terrifically convenient feature. You can
put airline schedules, etc. directly into Calendar by dragging. However,
either something has slipped a cog on my settings or there has been an
update
in Outlook 2007 that has fouled this up. It works fine on my main
workstation. I can see the item on the calendar and open it. But on my
portable and other workstations that I log onto (configured to work
directly
with our Exchange on SBS 2003) I cannot open the dragged item. So I can
see
that I have a flight on that day but can't read any of the infomation in
the
confirming e-mail. And it's not just flights. I sometimes drag an e-mail
I've sent someone onto the calendar. I can't open and read those either.
Tish said:Thanks for the suggeston about version checking....especially since you
reminded me where to do that step. I am working remotely with only the
portable available today so can't check the version on the main
workstation
until next week. But in answer to your question on 'how' I'm getting the
items to the calendar, I'm simply dragging them onto the date and dropping
them. The window that pops up asks for a time and let's me set a reminder
if
I want.
I was unaware that it was still possible to use the shortcut feature. I
loved that as it didn't clutter our workstations with multiple copies of
an
item. But I thought that was eliminated several years ago. These days
the
only way we've known to forward things was to send an attachment. How do
you
send a shortcut in Outlook 2007? I'd like to avoid that for my calendar
items for the obvious reason and I may somehow be doing it accidentally.

Drag the message to the Calendar folder.
You can't forward shortcuts but you can use a right click & drag and choose
between creating appointments with text, shortcuts, or attachments. Default
drag should be to include the message as text in the appointment body.

I have always been able to take an e-mail message from my inbox -- right

keeping all of the info in the e-mail convenient on the day of the appt.
I'm
not doing anything differently than I've done before, but I can no longer

I can't go back and open them there either. Thanks for ideas....
