Has anyone figured out how to compress the weekend days for Outlook 2007? It
is hard to believe they would completely take away an option that 2003
defaulted to.

There is no such option. I don't find it hard to believe when I consider all the work that went into creating the new calendar overlay feature.

Thanks for your response. Frustrating though... I do appreciate all the work
they accomplished, but taking away a feature that was the default view for
years?? The programming was already there for a compress/uncompress
checkbox. Why not keep it?

Overlaying calendars over compressed weekend days would have added some complexity. Also, Microsoft may have had usage data to indicate that many people uncompressed weekends.
