If anyone is interested in a solution for this issue, I just posted a new
free add-in, More Productive Tools for Outlook, that solves this problem
(along with providing a bunch of other features). It includes an
Outlook-compatible Calendar window; the Options settings for this window
includes a "Weeks Count" option where you can specify the number of weeks to
display in the Monthly view. If you specify "6", then you will not get the
issue described in this thread, as both the end of the previous month as
well as the entire current month will be displayed. The add-in is available
at www.moreproductivenow.com.

Phil Seeman,

Because you elected to show the complete calendar month, which is what
Outlook tries to show. When there are 6 weeks with the current month
dates shown, and the maximum number of weeks that can be shown in Month
view is less, something is going to be left out. Outlook correctly shows
you the beginning of the month in the first week's view.

If you expected something different while showing the complete month, then
this is a disappointment - however, it is not a bug. Programming resources
are better spent on actual bugs than view problems as perceived by users. I
much prefer they spend time fixing bugs.

||
||| I found a bug in MS Outlook 2003 (11.8010.8107) SP2. When the month
||| has 31 days in it and the first is on a saturday or sunday, and when
||| the current date is the 30 or 31, which will be monday or tuesday,
||| when you are in the month calendar view the date will default to
||| monday the 24 or 25 of the previous month. I have tested this on
||| several computers and on several months. The calendar date is
||| correct when selecting calender view for 1 day, 5 work week and 7
||| week. This is currently happening for July 31 2007, it keeps
||| defaulting to Monday June 25 2007. I presume this is because in the
||| month view it tries to show the complete current month, but there
||| is not enough lines in the calendar to view to show the complete
||| month, and the 30 or 31 is not shown in the view, so it defaults to
||| the first date showing on the calendar. Please verify this or if
||| there is a setting that I can change to correct this problem.
