In the 2007 Calendar view I have a "Calendar" nav pane on the left of the
calendar. I've read through the help and thought applied the steps to create
a custom view and remove the nav pane but when I restart OL and open the
calender it reappears. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

That calendar cannot be removed except by adding other calendars to your
options for so that the Calendar is not available due to screen space.

If you want to display the calendar date navigator, select View->Taskpane.

It seems that I did not communicate the right message for my question. I
open OL (the inbox opens), in the left nav pane I right click on the
calendar icon and select "open in a new window" (I now have two OL windows,
one for the inbox and one for the calendar). In the calendar window I don't
want the nav pane on the left. If in the calendar window I click View >
Navigation Pane > Off the nav pane disappears but the next time I start OL
and open a window for the calendar I again see the nav pane on the left. In
the calendar window I don't want to see the nav pane.

The nav pane is an all or nothing thing globally. The last window closed
sets the nav pane state -you can't have it off in one module and leave it on
in the other, you need to turn it off in the second window when you open it.

Well that sure explains why it continutes to come back. IMHO this is a
bummer and hopefully MS will get it right in a future release. Thanks for
the feedback.
