Hello,

Is there a possibility to customise calendar views (<view type="calendar">)
( like "Day/Week/Month") using XML? I was trying to change it but do not
succeed.
Thank you in advance.

In Outlook 2002 and 2003, yes you should be able to modify the view by
changing the value of the View.XML property. You might want to show a code
snippet to illustrate what you've done so far.

Hello All,
Hello Sue ,
thanks for replying.
When you select "calendar" folder on MSOutlook 2003, select current view =
"Day/Week/Month"
you can see the appointments as rectangular areas. If the appointment has
remainder field selected
you can see a little bell icon on the rectangular area. I just want to add
yet another icon near that very bell icon to this rectangular areas, is it
possible? I look at the XML code, there are descriptions of columns, and
then description of embeded table, including a taskpad, which you probably
can see only when View->Taskpad is selected.

That type of modification is not possible. What you *can* do with XML is
make the same modifications that the user can through the UI, only do it
programmatically.
