This is a new appointment form and it goes there when you save ans close the
form? If so, try restarting outlook with the reset folders switch. At start
menu, run, type
outlook.exe /resetfolders

User error. :)

I can't think of any other reasons why outlook would think the default
calendar was the deleted folder. It can't be rules for new appointments
(only incoming meeting requests would be affected by rules). It could
possibly be an add-in doing it - but I have no idea which addin would do it.
Unless it’s a new Dell laptop... the outlooksetupaddin screws a lot of stuff
up.

okay, that didn't work... But we also noticed that every time we open
outlook, a new appoinment goes into the "deleted items" folder. The really
weird thing is that it appears to be generated by the same user who its going
to and the subject line is alwys blank...

That sounds more like a script or addin.

This isn't a Dell laptop is it? They have an addin that is a mess but this
isn't the typical MO of the addin.

Check for addins. The one that causes havoc in laptops is used by their
Media Direct application - its called outlooksetupaddin (cyberlink). Maybe
there is another bad one we don't know about yet...
