I set up my calender view (5-Day Work Week; task pad set sorted by category,
etc.). When I click on another folder and then come back to the calendar
folder, I've lost all my settings (back to 1 Day view; lost all task pad
settings/filters, etc.). Please help if you can, I'm going crazy!
 
How did you customize it?
Use Views-> Arrange By-> Current View-> Customize Current View... or Define
Views...
 
Thanks for answering. First of all, sorry for not saying that I'm using
Outlook XP; I'm sure that makes a difference, though I don't know
specifically how.

In OutXP I can find:
View>>Current View>>Customize Current View
or
View>>Current View>>Define Views

but I don't see how either of those will help me retain the 5-Day, task
sorting preferences.

Sorry if I am just missing it. Thanks for your help.
 
That is the equivalent indeed ;-)

When you make a change to the view this way it should stick even when you
toggle between different views and folders.

Cool. I just don't understand how I make or save the changes using these the
changes using these menu options. Do I make the changes using the toolbar
shortcuts at the top and/or right-clicking in the taskpad, and then save them
using these menu options?

If so, how? I'm sorry, I feel like I'm really missing something here.

I noticed that I had lost something. When I clicked on VIEW, I had lost all
of my "currient view profiles"; all that was shown on this submenu was
"customize current view" and "define views." So here was my solution for
dummies:

1. Close Outlook
2. Move original PST
3. Open Outlook
4. Create a New PST
5. Import information from old PST to New PST

There is probably a more elegant solution, but this one worked for me.
 
Hi Brian. All of my information seems to be present after the import. I did
lose some labeling, but in my case that was a small price to pay for the
functionality that I recovered.
Is it possible that I've lost some other information of which I am unaware?
Otherwise, in my scenario importing from the PST seemed to work just fine.

Thanks.
