Display Calendar Grid

[BobJ194]

My calendar display in Outlook 2003 got screwed up yesterday. When I click
"Calendar" tab on the Left, I can only see a list of calendar items, grouped
by frequency of recurrence. In order to see my calendar as a grid, I have to
click "wife's calendar" button near the upper left side of the screen (under
"My Calendars" - the button "Calendar" doesn't work); then her calendar grid
displays, and I can see a "Calendar" button under "My Calendars"; at that
point I can click it and see my own calendar grid, at which point I can close
"wife's calendar" to see my calendar grid alone on the right side. If I go to
read "Mail", I will have to repeat the whole process to see the calendar grid
again.

What can I do to get the proper display function back?

What happens if you look on the View menu for Day/Week/Month view and select
it?

The options to view Day/Week/Month didn't appear (until I went through the
outlined procedure).

I have now solved the problem. I went through Help > Detect and Repair ...
The calendar now works right. But of course I lost my contacts (fortunately
I have a 2 month old backup - in .csv format that I converted to
tab-delimited / .txt and imported) and also my calendar entries (which I plan
to enter manually from my paper calendar) and my 5 email accounts (which I
have restored - except that the 4 non-Hotmail accounts all download into 1
Mail Folder, and I can't figure out how to get them to again download to
separate folders).

I have Outlook 2003 (11.8206.8202) SP3

Detect and repair should not have removed the pst from your profile.... and
I think /cleanviews woulda fixed it too.

Do you have your email? Press Ctrl+6 to see the folder list - how many
calendars do you see?
How many pst files are on your hard drive?

Ctrl+6 shows just 1 calendar (formerly I had 2).
After %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook I see
6 *.pst files.

one or more of those 6 psts contains your missing calendar.
