Outlook Calendar defaults to SEARCH

Technician1 · 09-15-2009, 12:45 AM

Hello.
as you all know: the normal behavior of outlook when you click on the CALENDAR shortcut at the bottom of the left pane, is to open your own calendar in the right pane (in browse events and appointments mode).

For some reason, on windows xp Office 2003, I am taken to the Calendar and the default page is SEARCH for an appointment or event!!

I tried searching in the options....... I did not find how to change this.

I even tried to create a new shortcut to my Calendar in the shortcuts section...... but even the new shortcut opens my Calendar SEARCH

any help would be appreciated.

You have probably tried this but, when you have the calendar open, click view then current view and select what you want.

thank you very much.
this in fact was the solution..... but with a little bit more digging....

it is Outlook 2003, not 2007

in Outlook 2003, I had to go to View, Current View, and then select my choice in a third menu

thank you very much for your kind help
