I have Outlook 2003. I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate. I noticed
recently that all calendar entries prior to May 20, 2009 have disappeared. 1)
Can I restore them and if so how? 2) How do I stop Outlook from doing that. I
want to save all my calendar history. Fortunately all my old emails are still
there.

Are you syncing with a portable device, like a blackberry? If so, see

No. It is a stand alone laptop. I don't have a blackberry, raspberry,
strawberry, or iphone. I still have my two questions, though. 1)Can I restore
them from some archived file (assuming they were archived automatically) and
if so how? 2) How to I stop this from happening in the future? Any help would
mbe most appreciated.

Yes, if you have an archive, you can restore them. go to tools, options,
other, archive - see if it is enabled. If so, right click on the calendar
folder choose properties, then autoarchive tab and change the setting or
disable archiving on the folder. Now go to file, open, outlook data file
and look for the archive folder.

if autoarchive is not enabled in tools, options, something else deleted
them. In this case, you need a backup file to recover them.

I go to tools, options, other, and then there is an AutoArchive button. I
click it and get a window where I can adjust various settings. I do not see a
calendar "folder" that I can right click. I right click the Calendar button
which is under the list of mail folders, and don't get anything useful. Where
is the calendar folder located? I have Outlook 2003 SP3.

This is the tools, options, other tab, autoarchive button's dialog:
http://xsolive.com/Outlook%20Screen%...rm.aspx?ID=126
Is the option on top checked? If not, autoarchive won't run.

If it is enabled, what properties are set on the calendar folder? close the
tools, options dialog and go to the calendar navigation pane to find your
calendar folder. Right click on the calendar that is missing the
appointments and open properties. What are the settings on the autoarchive
tab?
