Multi-day events only show on the first day when viewed the opening"Outlook Today" view

[Jim5941]

Ok ... sorry maybe this is another stupid NOOB question if so sorry
(After using Lotus Organizer for many years you will have to excuse
me ;-)

I am running Outlook 2007 on Vista Ultimate with all patches (as of
last week at least).

When I open Outlook and it is in the default "Outlook Today" view the
Calendar shows in the middle column with a list of events for the next
several days.

"Multi-Day events" either all-day or just secheduled times only show
up on the First day of the event .... and the listing does not repeat
on subsequent days.

If I go into the "customize view" window the only customization option
for the calender section is to select how many days worth of events to
display. .....

Is there a way to get multi-day events to post to all days they occur
in this view?

THANKS!

Try the Calendar instead and adjust the settings to suit you. Click
CALENDAR, then VIEW on the menu then look at the various options in there.
Outlook is much more flexible in that Calendar screen than in Outlook Today.
You can also decide how many days of the Calendar you see.

As far as I can tell, Outlook Today will only show the multiday event on the
first if its days, but it will say "Multi-day Event" to the left of the event
title.

Thanks Brian!
I agree ... kinda makes my head hurt that MS took that approach, but
I'm sure they were trying to conserve screen real estate.... I think
I'll just avoid that view for "calender planning" as I have lots of
multi-day events!

Outlook today really isn't the best view for planning - its more of a quick
overview.
