OL2002: Month Navigator Keeps Disappearing

I recently upgraded from OL2002 to OL2007, then downgraded back to
OL2002.

Now, whenever I open Outlook, the calendar comes up with out the Date
Navigator.  I can get it back by moving the marginal line between the
months and the task pad.  But it used to be (before my upgrade/
downgrade) that the Date Navigator would persist - it would always be
there when I opened the calendar.

How can I get it to "stick" again?

Thanks.

When you "downgraded", did you start with a new mail profile?  Outlook 2002
doesn't have the Navigation Pane.  It uses the Outlook Bar.  Try restarting
Outlook once with the /ResetOutlookBar command switch.

Brian,

Sorry, my message must have been unclear.  What I meant was:

1) I originally had OL2002 set up so that the when I viewed the
calendar, it had the day's details on the left, the TaskPad on the
lower right, and the date navigator on the upper right.  Whenever I
started OL and opened a calendar window, it would always appear this
way.
2) I upgraded to OL2007, tested it for a while, decided I preferred
OL2002.  So I uninstalled OL2007, then did a clean install (from the
original CD) of OL2002.
3) Now when I start OL2002 and open a calendar window, I get the day
on the left and the taskpad on the right.  Now matter how many times I
make the date navigator visible, if I close OL and the start it again,
the calendar window reverts to the view in which the navigator is not
visible.

Per your suggestion, I did /ResetOutlookBar, but since the Outlook Bar
is not visible in my view, it didn't help.  I have also done /
cleanviews, but it didn't help either.

Thanks.

Delete the hidden file %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook\outcmd.dat.  Create a new
mail profile, if that doesn't work.

Brian

I tried both.  Also tried creating a new .pst.  But the date navigator
is still not persisting.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

How are you "making the Date Navigator visible" before it goes away again?

Grabbing the divider between the Date Navigator and the Taskpad and
dragging down until one row of months is visible.

Well, you are doing it correctly and since you say you tried a new mail
profile and deleted the .dat files, I'm at a loss.  Sorry.
