Is there anyway to get the custom view to read the windows %username%
variable and filter results based on that criteria? My goal is for
outlook to filter a shared calendar custom view to show the user all of
the non-private entries plus show the user their own private items.

I know I need an "if" statement or some variation but this isn't PL/SQL
so I'm lost on how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

AFAIK, no. It's not possible with the standard filters - I suspect not with
the SQL filter, but I never tried it and don't know what code to suggest.

Thanks anyway. I did realize after my original post that I didn't need
the windows %username% variable... just the Outlook "From" field. But
I still can't assign conditions to SQL or execute SQL based on
conditions so I'll just have to have 2 different views, one that shows
all the non-private events and another to show the all the user's
events.
