Only six overlapping appointments show in Outlook 2002
 

If I add more than six appointments in one time slot they do not show in
daily view. They will show in weekly view, but when I add more appointments I
run out of room in the weekly view as well. Is there a way that I can make
all of my appointments show? I have tried changing resolutions and hiding
toolbars but it makes no difference.

I don't believe that's customizable.

Not sure that you understood my question. Actually I'm not looking to add or
customize a feature - this looks more like a bug to me. What happens is that
when I add the seventh overlapping appointment other appointments disappear
from view. The only way I can find the appointments is by searching for their
titles. They don't even show if I print the daily calendar. Is their
something I am missing or is this just the nature of the beast? If it won't
show the appointments why doesn't Outlook stop me from entering appointments
that I can't view?

Perhaps I don't understand. I thought you were saying that when you add
more than a certain number of events in a day that you can see only some of
them on the weekly or monthly view and that you wanted to know if there were
a way to display more. My answer was that there is only a fixed number of
events you can see on the monthly or weekly view for any given day and that
can't be changed. Is this not the question?

Thanks for your help, anf patience Brian. Yes - you basically understand my
question - but that leads me to another. After I get to a certain point
appointments are hidden from EVERY view - weekly, monthly , daily, etc. Am I
correct in assuming that there is no possible way of viewing or printing all
of the appointments despite the fact that they have been entered and accepted
into the calendar?

You should certainly be able to see all of your appointments for the day,
provided they're not all at the same time. In weekly or monthly views,
there is a limit to how many appointments can be seen in the little boxes
representing the days. When you say "appointments are hidden from EVERY
view", do you mean that after adding a certain number of appointments for a
day that the daily view appears completely empty and that on the weekly and
monthly views that days contain no appointments, or do you mean that in any
of those views you can see some but not all of the appointments. If the
former, I can't explain it. The only thing I can recommend is to start
Outlook once with the /cleanviews command line switch. If the latter, then
what I already said about weekly and monthly views applies (i.e., that's
just the way Outlook behaves), but again, I can't explain why would wouldn't
be able to see all your daily appointments, unless you have them scheduled
as all-day events. There is a limit to how many all-day events will display
in the daily view as well, because they display in the gray section above
the scoll area.

The problem is that, even in the daily view there is no way that I can find
to show more than six overlapping (same time frame) appointments. Is the
answer that six is the limit of what can be shown in one time slot, period?
If so, why does Outlook allow you to add the seventh appointment if it won't
allow you to show all seven of the appointments?

Do you really have six appointments all for the same time? How do you
attend them all.

I don't have any other suggestions. If changing screen resolution or the
size of the window does not affect what you see, I can't suggest anything
else. As to why Outlook behaves that way, only the authors know.
