Hi Diane

I have tried the cleanviews switch, apologies that I forgot to mention that.

I have so far run cleanviews, cleanfreebusy (due to the random missing busy
info when you try to book a new meeting) and the resetnavpane switches.

I am accessing his calendar directly from my account, using File Open
Other users folder. I should have stated that before, apologies again.

Thanks

Alex

did you try cleanviews switch?

when you open his calendar, is it using his mailbox logon or as a shared
calendar from your mailbox?

Hi Judy,

I ran the /resetnavpane switch, unfortunately this did not fix the
problem.
:-(

I am going to ask him to try this in OWA and see if he gets the same
issue,
hadn't thought about that previously. I can view his calendar fine via
OWA.
No issues there. I'll also ask him to test another machine.

After re-reading my initial post, I had neglected to state that if I open
his calendar from my session I can see everything fine, all days with
meetings and reminders etc show up in bold. Didn't know if that makes any
difference? I guess if anything it shows that they 'do' work, just not for
him... could it be worth running another switch??

Many thanks again Judy. No worries if you run out of ideas though, I
appreciate your help.

You are actually having a problem with what's called the Date
Navigator
(that's the Calendar thingo above the TaskPad.) Try using the
Commandline
switch to reset the date navigator.

I have also tried altering the taskpad view settings via View
Taskpad
View,
but none of this has helped.

Thanks

Hi guys,

I am trying to fix a problem for a customer.

They have appointments booked on certain dates, which are set to
either
'busy' or 'out of office', yet they don't show up as bold in the
task
pad
calendar which they should do.

Not all dates are affected, it seems a bit random.

It happens with re-occuring meetings and normal appointments.

These have been accepted and are set to either busy or out of
office.
They
are NOT showing as free... which I'm aware would cause this same
effect.

Also, this may be related: if I try to book an appointment with
him, I
cannot always see currently booked appointments. These are also set
as
busy
and have been accepted.

If I create a new appointment in his calendar whilst shadowing him,
save
and
close, the date in the task pad then turns bold. Almost like its
jolting
the
calendar back to reality.

I have tried changing his views to various others incase there was
something
setup strangely, but nothing works.

I have run the /cleanfreebusy switch to no affect, and tried a new
mail
profile which no luck. I'm sure th

Any suggestions?? I may have missed some bits out here so feel free
to
ask
away... I would be greatful for any input.

Cheers

Alex
