MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / June 2007how do i adjust my calendar layout?
after a >2GB pst file restoration, my calendar view has defaulted to an email-ish configuration, and all my contacts seems to have lost their associated email addresses. Please help me to restore the traditional calendar view and re-associate email/contact information with each contact name Hi you will get some help once you tell us something useful. Start with: version of Outlook what you did to get Outlook to this point (you say restoration - exactly how did you do that?) what do you actually see in the Calendar (maybe turn on Advanced Toolbar and look at the Current View Window) what leads you to believe that the Contacts no longer have email information associated with them (be exact) Judy Gleeson MVP Outlook Outlook trainer and author of Productiv_IT with Outlook read my articles here: www.judygleeson.com www.acorntraining.com.au Canberra, Australia Joseph Joubert To teach is to learn twice. > after a >2GB pst file restoration, my calendar view has defaulted to an > email-ish configuration, and all my contacts seems to have lost their > associated email addresses. Please help me to restore the traditional > calendar view and re-associate email/contact information with each contact > name Sorry Judy; more info: VERSION I am on HP dv6000 laptop running Xp service pack 2. Outlook is 2000, 9.0.0.2711 ..TO THIS POINT On starting Outlook, a message said something like: 'can not open your mailbox folders - your Inbox folders or Outlook PST file may be damaged, you should use the Inbox Repair Tool supplied by Microsoft.'..so after matching symptoms with online windows excessive .pst file issues, I went through the .pst file back up procedure, then used the Scanpst.exe file to reduce file size. Outlook then launched after being re-directed to the new .pst file. ..ON OPENING CALENDAR I tried the Advanced Toolbar and Current View suggestions, but they only hid/showed different elements of the existing (unwanted) layout. My calendar was laid out as a grid of days (maybe 6 cols x 5 rows) and I had selected the show month option. I could double-click any day and add an appointment to it. But now my calendar entries are in a basic row format with an icon to the left of From,Subject and Received info. This seems to be being read from Outlook Today>Lost & Found>Recovered Folder 81C2, so I suspect that the recovery procedure has either saved my calendar data as email info / Outlook is now presenting it as email info? CONTACT EMAILS LOST I created an email with multiple bcc's (picked from the contact list) to inform associates of lost email data due to the Scanpst exercise, but on pressing Send, a box said 'the following names have no emails with them, and listed every name I had added to the bcc list'. On examining each contact, the default email addresses were blank. Thanks in advance > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > calendar view and re-associate email/contact information with each contact > > name You'll do better to make a new default pst and move the items to it - I'd move just what you need and leave the stuff you don't need at your finger tips in the recovered pst. What icon is on the appointments? Email or calendar icon? Did you verify the addresses were on their contacts? They may need resolved. It's usually a problem when you import lists from CSV or excel but apparently fixing the oversized pst removed the address resolution.

How do I verify the addresses were on their contacts, and then 'resolve' them? (is 'resolve' an available function somewhere or does it refer to nasty manual data sync stuff) thanks > You'll do better to make a new default pst and move the items to it - I'd > move just what you need and leave the stuff you don't need at your finger [quoted text clipped - 79 lines] > >> > contact > >> > name Ok... so it just the view that is messed up - they weren't converted to email. Try resetting it or changing it to the day/week/month. Open the contact - is the email address in the contact underlined? if not, click in the address and press enter. Also - to clarify - the addresses are in contacts, not in a DL?

I could not open my outlook.pst and was told to use the scanpst.exe program to repair my outlook .pst file. I did this and it created a "lost & found" folder with a subfolder "recovered file 8122". This is my calendar. All calendar entries are here and it syncs with my blackjack PDA properly. However, the calendar entries are in table form like my email. I have looked at the replies to HazletanMan and have tried to follow the suggestions going to advanced tool bar and changing back to day/week/month view. I did not see that option. I cannot find out how to change back to day/week/momth view. This would fix my problem.

Since my only options were table and timeline, I clicked on the "new: button and created a day/week/month view. This worked. However, none of my caklendar entries are viewable.

I'd start with 1) open outlook using the cleanviews switch http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/switches.htm 2) if things are still a mess, make a new pst and move the recovered items to it SignatureDiane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: dailytips-subscribe-request@lists.outlooktips.net Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM >I did this.

I have opted for making a copy of the 1.9gb pst file, wiping loads of old emails to reduce size, and abandoning the e-world in favour of a papery thing made out of flattened tree parts. Although this too stops working when full, I'm confident I won't lose half a day reconfiguring it and losing randomly selected data anyway. Muchos gracias and adios. > that sounds like journal views. > [quoted text clipped - 63 lines] > >> >> > contact > >> >> > name The clean view switch did nothing. I did talk with someone else and have fixed the problem. I went to the folder list view in outlook and created a new calendar folder selecting "calendar items" where it asked for "folder contains". My calendar folder had been deleted when scanpst.exe was run and the "recovered folder 8122" was created. I opened the "recovered folder 8122" which was in table form and did a "select all". I then moved all items to the new calendar folder. I can now view my calendar in day/week/month format.

If you right click on "personal folders" at the top of the folder tree on the left, and then select "new folder" you get the dialogue box where you name the new folder and then click on the drop down for "folder contains" and you should be able to select "calendar items". This is all that I know.
