Shortcut Keys and Productivity

[Simon]

Hello.
Outlook 2003.
Ctrl-Shift-A
Type in Name [Tab]
Type in Location [Tab]
now.....
How do you bring down the calender drop box!!
you have to go back to mouse (Slow...)
Likewise for Time
and repeat for End Time.

It used to be Alt-down arrow in this type of box.

Please tell me the key or consider those keyboard
productivity advances for us.
Thanks in advance.
Simon

Normal drop-down lists still use Alt-down arrow. The calendar control is not a normal drop-down and does not support any keyboard use. The wokraround, of course, is to just type in the date or use one of the many, many typing shortcuts -- like the abbreviation for the day of the week, 2d for 2 days from now, etc.
