Working Hours not set to default for new appointment

K

Keelie

Hello,

I have a user who is using Outlook 2007 who when he opens a new appointment
and goes to scheduling has it show the entire day. He has to go to
Options--Show Working Hours to get it to just show working hours. Where can
I set this as his default so that he doesn't have to do that every time?

Thank you.

So Show only my working hours isn't persistent? Try closing the meeting
request as soon as its changed.

The new appointment window is consistent in that it does NOT show working
hours, it always opens showing a 24 hour period when you look at
availability. When we select options--show working hours and then save the
meeting or just close it down, when we open up a new appointment it is still
back to showing the 24 hours.

Other users do not have this issue--most other people seem to be defaulted
that when they open up a new appointment request it will show only working
hours. Is there no way to set this as a default for someone in Outlook 2007?

There is no checkbox to set a default for it but the setting can be
persistent. (it shows only working hours here by default).

I, too, am having the same issue... unable to set "Show Only My Working
Hours" as on by default. Outlook 2007

Any new news on this topic?

Thanks,
Dave

I can't seem to get it to be persistent here. When we set it to show only
working hours on an appointment then close (or save it, we've tried both),
the next time we open it up, it's still showing all 24 hours.

Yep, exact same issue. I was hoping either a checkbox (which we've ruled out
I think) or a Registry hack would fix it... just nobody seems to know the Key.

I've got this thread bookmarked, and I'll be checking it frequently, so if
you (or anyone) has any input, post it here, obviously. Meanwhile, I'll keep
looking as well in other forums.

Thanks,
Dave

Hurray!

Had exactly the same problem but now discovered a quick fix:
Go to Calendar and click once at a working hour time (for example: select
9:00 AM)
Go to new appointment and scheduling.
Voila: the selected time selected in scheduling also AND No working hours!
