Cannot open this item. You don't have permission to create an entry.....

[Albert]

Hi all,

I just upgraded Outlook 2003 to 2007 and I'm having a problem with
Calendar. In 2003 I just used the default calendar but since I
installed 2007 I decided to make a second calendar for birthdays.

The first time I went back into the "birthday"calendar to enter all of
the pertinent birthdays I get this message;

"Cannot open this item. You don't have permission to create an entry
in this folder. Right-click the folder, and then click Properties to
check your permission for the folder. See the folder owner or your
administrator to change your permission."

I've done as it suggested and can't find any way in the "Properties"
to fix the problem.

Because I am the administrator of this computer and the only account,
I can't understand why it's blocking me from doing it.

What am I doing wrong???

All help would be greatly appreciated,

Albert

Is this new calendar in a Hotmail account accessed via the Outloo
Connector, or in a local PST

Is this new calendar in a Hotmail account accessed via the Outlook
Connector, or in a local PST?

It was a Hotmail account accessed by Outlook connector but I deleted
it. It would probably do the same thing if I reinstalled it. Should I
do the as local PST? Or better yet could you just explain how I should
do it?

I find I cannot manipulate the Birthday calendar that Hotmail presents to me,
except via the web interface. I get the same error you do. I've never
pursued a solution because I find the Birthday calendar useless. My main
calendar has the birdays in which I'm interested. I don't keep any contacts
on Hotmail, either.

That's pretty will what I had decided to do I'm just using the main
calendar for everything. Probably it's less complicated that way and
at 75 uncomplicated is good.
