First, just to avoid confusion, make sure you have Outlook and not Outlook express; they're not at all the same, and it's very unfortunate MS chose this naming scheme. Now, if you do have outlook and press control-2, you'll end up in an empty calendar (no wonder you saw nothing). See my other email on setting the view here for a list of active appointments rather than the default of a 2-dimensional weekly or monthly calendar. While you're here in the calendar, you can add a new appointment with the control-n shortcut. This tells outlook to create a new whatever you're in at the moment; if you're in your mailbox you get a new email message, but here in the calendar you get a new appointment dialog, with fields to fill out. You're other choice is that you can stay in your mailbox and use the file | new submenu and choose appointment from that menu. This will bring you to the same new appointment dialog without having you actually have to switch to the calendar, and then back to your mailbox. If you're using this in a corporate environment, with an exchange server, let me know so I can add some additional information.
