Hello,

I just upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003. The auto archiving was
set to backing up my calendar items every 60 days and putting this stuff in
the archive.pst file. I wanted to keep this stuff on my calendar and since
were not talking about lots of megabytes of stuff, I set the autoarchive to
24 months. Then I imported all calendar items from my archive.pst file back
into my current calendar. It looks like it brought everything back into my
calendar however, you know how when you look at the smaller calendar that
runs vertical on the left side column of outlook, the days that have an
appointment on them are Darkened so you know there's something there to look
at, well its not done this on the stuff I imported back into outlook. For
this month and last month everywhere there's an appointment, the day is
darkened, but when I look at February or earlier, the days are not darkened
even though the appointments are there.

Anyone know how I can get those days to darken again so I know which days
have something to look at?

Thanks

Jim
 
What are your free/busy settings under the Calendar Button in
Tools->Options? Try setting it to 12 months.

Thanks Milly,

Well, you would have thought that would fix it since my settings were 2
months, but I changed it to 12 months and I still only have Feb/March
showing up with darkened dates in the little calendars. I saved the
settings and opened and closed outlook several times to no avail.

Is there something else I've got set that might be causing this?

Thanks a lot for you help.

Aloha
