The offline/online seemed to solve it, so I'll leave it alone.

As for the calendar, as many times as I've had to restart this computer in
the last several days, I've noticed that it seems to alternate between
October and November. One time it starts the 3rd or 4th week of October,
another it may start the 1st or 2nd week of November. Strange...........

Thanks, though, for the input!

If I am being dense, I apologize in advance. When the Send/Receive
box opens, I have one group showing which is made up of one POP3
account. The only box checked on that page is under "When Outlook is
online:" Include this group in Send/Receive (F9). No other boxes on
the page are checked.

If neither of the "Schedule and automatic send/receive" boxes are checked,
then I can't imagine how Outlook can be performing a send/receive when you
start it because those boxes control that feature.

As I mentioned, if I make sure Disable Scheduled Send/Receive has a
checkmark by it in the Tools--Send/Receive Settings menu dropdown
(even though the box in the S/R groups for "Schedule an automatic
send/receive every XXX minutes" is not checked), it still checks for
mail whenever Outlook is started but does not download it.

What type of account are you using? Your followup to your original post
indicates that it's a POP account, but I wanted to ask.

I think the key here was working online vs. offline.

Well, if things are working the way you want, that's great. I wish I could
explain it.

I would rate your post as being helpful because it was, but I am
afraid if I do, then my original question about the calendar problem
will not get answered.

I can't reproduce the calendar problem and that's why I didn't address it.
Someone else may, and I hope they do. However, markig a post as helpful or
not won't affect anyone's ability to continue to see the original post and
won't mark it as finished in any way, so I don't think you need to worry.
