One of our users running Outlook 2003 SP1 is having some issues with her
calendar

1. The Calendar is set to 7 day view, but when she closes out of it and
reopen it has reset to 1 day view!

2. In the "day picker" view on the right it used to show all weekends in
BOLD and all days with an appointment on them also. Now it shows some
Saturdays BOLD and some not, some Sundays BOLD and some not and some of the
days which have appointments BOLD and some not. Also shows some weekdays
which don't have appointments in BOLD!! Any ideas? We have uninstalled and
reinstalled OUTLOOK and in fact for another issue recently formatted and
reinstalled the O.S. but STILL have the same issues!!

Thanks In Advance

Close Outlook. Find and rename outcmd.dat to .old. (If using Windows 2000
or XP, you will need to enable searching hidden and system folders.)

Once you have done so, reopen Outlook and it should open fine. You will
need to rebuild any custom toolbars or customizations as the file outcmd.dat
controls how the toolbars display. When it becomes corrupted, it will cause
Outlook to hang because it cannot create the toolbars that you expect.

I did a search this morning for "outcmd.dat" and the user does not have this
file on her terminal. I ensured that Show Hidden Files and Folder was
checked but no joy! O.S. is Windows XP Professional SP1

Thanks In Advance
