Changing Default Calendar in Outlook 2003
Howdy,
If I have a Calendar in my Exchange mailbox and a Calendar in my Personal Folders, is there any way to see the Personal Folder by default when I click the Calendar button? I read that the one that shows up by default is the one where my mail goes so if I change my mail to deliver to the Personal Folder, will it then show the Personal Folder Calendar by default? And if I don't want to have my mail delivered to the PF, how can I view my PF Calendar without having to go into the Calendar, check the PF Calendar box, Uncheck the other Calendar box, etc... Note To Microsoft: Make an option to set the default calendar! Thanks. |

Note to poster: Default locations are set by message store, not by folder.
Imagine the crashes Outlook would have going between several message stores. I have heard of people with15 or more .pst files open at one time. Do you really think MSFT should change Outlook to look for the "preferred" calendar? I think not. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without reading.

Message store meaning what? Your post offered no solutions or suggestions on
how to not have to manually choose the right calendar every time I open it. And do I think MS should make a product that is versatile enough to be able to do what the user wants? Umm, yes. How hard would it be to right click a calendar, choose an option that says "Make this my default calendar". There are lots of people that want to use an offline mailbox but have their calendar entries go to the online calendar so others can see them. And there are other reasons someone might want to see one calendar over another when they open up Outlook. But good old Microsoft jsut makes things one way and doesn't take into account what real lif eusers might want... So does anyone have any suggestions that are actually helpful?
