A different set of custom view settings is applied to Calendars when you view multiple Calendars side by side in Outlook 2003 (823130)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office Outlook 2003
SYMPTOMSWhen you use the Outlook 2003 Calendar feature to view
multiple Calendars side by side at the same time in Outlook 2003, you may find
that the custom view settings that are applied to the calendars in the view may
be different after you switch to a different Outlook 2003 folder and then
return to the Calendar folder. This behavior occurs even though each calendar
that is in the view is configured with a different set of custom view
settings,
For example, you have two calendars that are named
Calendar1 and Calendar2.
The custom view settings that are applied to both calendars are the settings
that are configured for Calendar1. When you open and
view the two calendars, you may find that the custom view settings that are
applied to both calendars are the settings that are applied to
Calendar2. This behavior occurs after you switch to
another folder in the Navigation Pane, and you click Calendar
to return to the Calendar.CAUSEYou can configure custom view settings for individual
calendars. However, when you view multiple calendars side by side, the same
custom view settings apply to all the shared calendars and to all the calendars
that are listed under My Calendar that are open in the view.
When you view multiple calendars at the same time, and each calendar is
configured with a different set of custom view settings, Outlook 2003 applies
the same set of custom view settings to all calendars that are open in the
view. The custom view settings that are applied when you view multiple
calendars side by side are determined by the order of the calendars in the
aggregate view.
For a shared calendar, the custom view settings that
you configure override the custom settings that are set by the owner of the
shared calendar. WORKAROUNDYou can reorder the calendars in the aggregate view to make
sure that the custom view settings that you want are applied when you view
multiple calendars at the same time in Outlook 2003. To do so, follow these
steps:
- Click Calendar.
- Under My Calendars, right-click the
calendar that you want to open, and then click
Open.
The calendar opens, and the check box that is
next to the calendar is selected. Any other calendars that are currently open
are closed. The custom view settings that you configured for the calendar that
is currently open apply to the open calendar and also apply to any additional
calendars that you open.
You must reapply this workaround to reorder the calendars in the
aggregate view if you switch to another area on the Navigation Pane and then
return to the Calendar. MORE INFORMATIONWhen you view calendars side by side in Outlook 2003, you
can view the calendars that you create. You can also view shared calendars that
are created by other Outlook users at the same time.
