Too many all-day events?

I have a user with Outlook 2002, no Exchange. She's got a lot of all-day
events, most of them span multiple days. The problem is, if there are more
than 7-10 events in a given day they don't show in any Calendar view, she
has to go to table view to see them. Is there any way to make Outlook show
all All-Day events in a Calendar view?
 
The number of all day events outlook can show is limited by the screen
resolution and window size.

The number of Items showing is usually dependant on the Monitor resolution,
does upping this help
 
I have asked the same question a number of times and really
never received a valid or acceptable answer. About the only
thing that can be done (that I know of) is to view them in the
"OutLook Today" view, until someone writes an add-on that
allows this. (ListView not acceptable).

I am looking for a view that only shows the items for that day
(without the gaps in-between)

If anyone has an answer or recommendation? I'm listening.

Unfortunately, that won't work for us, since this not the default
calendar folder for the user.

I don't think it's a resolution issue. The user does not have a high
resolution, prob. 800x600. I'm running at 1280x1024, large fonts, and I
am seeing the same number of entries in the same calendar.

Try a higher resolution and normal sized fonts - close most of the Outlook
toolbars (and status bar) and use it at full screen. You should be able to
see 13 or so.

Unfortunately none of this advice seems to work in Outlook 2000
(Exchange-based). I can only see 6 events in Calendar. What is needed
is to have 7 - 10 events all listed at the same time (becaused they
all start at the same time). Is there perhaps a registry fix which
will increase the number displayable?

Thanks

nope. the only way to see more is using different views
