Outlook's default month view shows the current month. When the date nears the
end of the month there are few days viewable into the future and the future
dates are split over two months. (which you have to switch back and forth
between the months to see the events you have schedules over the next 5
weeks). I just want to see the next 5 weeks regardless of whether the current
date is near the end of the current month or at the first of the month.

Would you be so kind as to show me how to set up either a macro (keyboard
command) or a "calendar view" which displays the current week plus the next 5
weeks.   Ideally this would be the default view each time I start outlook
calendar.

 The process to acheive this manually is tedius (below), so any help to
automate/streamline this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your
consideration

Steps to show the 5 week outlook:
----------------------------------
 1) While in  month view (navigate to calendar and then select View |  
Month) use the mouse to stretch the navigation pane (alt f1) so that the
calendar with each day displayed as just a number shows at least the next two
months.
2) Now using the mouse select the “week number (1-52) ”  to the left of
the current week (with the red box ). Then HOLDING DOWN THE SHIFT KEY ,
select the “week number in the next month that is 6 weeks ahead of the
current week number. This shift-click operation will cause the calendar
to display 6 weeks worth of dates starting with the current week.

Can't you use the down arrow key to move to subsequent weeks?

I would like a better solution. Using the arrow means that every time I open
and close outlook I have to use the arrows to position the caledar around
todays date. Pressing Alt-Oh  just selects today in the caledar. I would like
to simply open the electronic calendar and have it position the view for the
best display of the data given the current date. I mean that this would make
the electronic calendars truely more useful : showing me the outlook every
time I open it.....

The below was extremely helpful (thanks) but didn't QUITE give me what I was
looking for.

Once you've done that and set it to 5 or 6 weeks how do you THEN set
calendar so that it appears like that when you come back to calendar having
been to (say) contacts or e mail or whatever.  

What I'm trying to say is how do I set calendar (month view) to show me the
current week at the top instead of at the bottom.  That is, I want to view
the coming 5 (or 6) weeks as default and not the past 5 (or 6).
