change default calendar

Is there a way to either change my default calendar to one other than
"Calendar" or to run a macro or something that switches it every time I open
Outlook?
 
In what manner? As the real default where new events are added if you create
them when not in the calendar folder or just as the start page when you open
outlook?

What version of outlook?

The default calendar is the one in your default message store - where all
new pop and exchange messages are stored. You can change it, but it will
effect more than the calendar. It can be the MSN/Outlook connector message
store.
In newer versions of outlook you can select almost any folder as the start
page when outlook first opens - tools, options, other, advanced.

I'm using 2003, but if 2007 would allow it, I would upgrade.
Here is is:
There is calendar called "calendar" For internal reasons I keep a separate
calendar called rick's calendar. I don't use the default one. I'd like
Outlook to open rick's calendar instead of calendar, or have some macro or
something that automatically switches it.

What do you mean by "for internal reasons"? There are ways to stop people
in your company seeing the details of your meetings (apart from the IT admin
that is).

What's your situation? Maybe there's a better solution than a second
calendar as Outlook doen's work well with them.

My secretary keeps my calendar, which I synchronize on my computer and
BlackBerry using a program called ShareO. It has to have a separate name.
Thanks for your help!

G'day Rick

What do you mean by "it" has to have a separate name? Can't you just tell
your synch software to synchronise your primary Calendar? And have your
secretary manage your primary calendar? That's the way Blackberries work in
all my client sites.

Maybe you should ask the Share O software support people how to do this the
way they designed their software to work with Outlook. Setting which
Categories of meetings synch, whether private items synch etc is all run by
the synch software.
