How to Schedule an Event in Outlook

In Outlook, an "event" is a milestone or all-day activity, like a birthday, a due date, or a vacation. Event time appears as a banner in your Calendar, and is not marked off as busy, as an all-day appointment would be. You can schedule one-time or recurring events in Outlook 97, 98, and 2000.
