Q: I would like to create a calendar to track my personal events and keep them separate from my business activities in Outlook 2003. But, I would like to view them side-by-side so I make sure that I don't schedule myself for a business meeting and a personal appointment at the same time.   Is there a way to do this?
A: Yes, Here's how:

First you have to create a new Calendar by:
1. Click on the 'Calendar' button to open your default Calendar in Outlook 2003
2. File > New > Folder...
3. Type in a Calendar name Ex. 'Karate Schedule'
4. From the 'Folder contains:' drop-down menu, select 'Calendar Items' (at the top of the list)
5. Click on 'Personal Folders' in the folders list window
-This will place your new Calendar at the same hierarchy level as your other folders

Now, you can display your new Calendar side-by-side to your default one by:
-Under the 'My Calendars' box at the upper left hand side of the screen, your Calendars are listed.  The default Calendar is selected (has a check mark by it)
6. Place a check next to your new Calendar (Ex. Karate Schedule)
-Both your default Calendar and new Calendar are displayed side-by-side!
That's it!
