I'm running OneNote 2007 and Outlook 2007 on Windows Server 2003 OS.

If I select Tools > Create Outlook Item, the two menu choices (create
aptment, create contact) are greyed out.
If I select Insert > Outlook Task, all menu choices are greyed out.
If I show Outlook Task toolbar, all toolbar items are greyed out.

It seems that all OneNote to Outlook capability is disabled.
How can I correct this?

thanks

I have the same problem but Office Diagnostics tool found no problems to fix.
Even the New Page is grayed out, as are Options. Very little works.
I have Office 2007 SP2, Vista Ultimate 64-bit.
Just installed OneNote today and updated wih SP2. Click the 'Send to
OneNote' button in Outlook, this pops up: "The OneNote add-in cannot connect
to OneNote. Make sure that OneNotge add-ins are enabled in the Add-Ins
category of the OneNote application options" What application options?
OneNote Add-in is enabled in Outlook add-ins. Options in OneNote is grayed
out.

The only thing that comes into my mind is:
Run a "Repair" for both (OneNote and Outlook) from the Control Panel.*)
