How to send contact info to calendar via right click?

[Technicater]

In outlook 2000 contacts you could right click on a contact & bring up the
option for "new appointment with contact"
This would also give you info on the contact in the "contact" field at the
bottom left of the calendar box which you could left click to highlight then
drag & drop in the subject field.
Is there a way to do this in Outlook 2007?
The right click options for 2007 in contacts seem limited by comparison to
2000, is there a way to add extra choices to them?

You can still right click on a contact and bring up the context menu - select Create. There are several choices. As for the second part of your issue, did you turn on Contact Linking in Tools->Options->Contact options?

Thank you Milly.
The right click options for contacts in Outlook 2007 are down to just 4 -
New Message, Meeting request, Task, & Journal entry.
Have turned on contact linking, no difference.
What I'm after is a right click option for a new appointment.
Have started configuring BCM, it has a lot more right click options
including the appointment request.
A new topic branching off from here would be -
Why does Outlook 2007 behave so differently to BCM ?
Is it simply a lack of knowledge on my part ?
Look at my post regarding duplicates during CSV imports.
Ta, Mick.
