Appointments exist but no longer show up visibly on calendar

Hi...  I've used Outlook for Mac for years for my Calendar and it's always worked flawlessly until today.  As recent as a few days ago I entered a new appointment as I've done a thousand times and it worked fine...  Then today I tried to enter yet one more for something I need to do (one time event) on September 16th.  I went to Sept 16, double clicked to open a new appointment, entered the pertinent info and said "save and close".  But nothing appeared in the September 16 box (I used a "montly" calendar view but I switched to all the other view possibilities and nothing shows for this new appointment on Sept 16.  Tons of other appointments show up all over the place including two others that were made long ago for Sept 16th but nothing for the one I just tried to make today...  

So next I came back into the current month, August, and tried to make several test appointments, all to no avail...  I shutdown and restarted Outlook...  No change...  I then shutdown and restarted the Mac...  No change...  I went to the preference area and didn't see anything that looked suspicious.  I even went so far as to completely reinstall the latest update I installed quite some time ago, that update being version 14.3.6.  No change...  

Next I created a new appointment for just a few minutes from the current time and set the notification time to 0 minutes such that it would not notify me in advance but would instead notify me precisely when the appointment was due...  I saved that appointment as just as with all others today, nothing visibly show up in my calendar.  However, when the appointed time came sure enough the reminder came up and told me of the appointment...

So it's THERE...  It's just NO LONGER VISIBLE...  

What could have happened???  Is it a bad preference file???  What???  I really need to get this working again as I use it daily...  Any help would be much appreciated...

thanks... bob...
