I had the same problem. When I changed the "Show time as" field from "Busy"
to "Tentative", all my dates became bold. Hope this works for you.

Like Boog, I have the same problem, dates do not bold. I tried the
Clean/Free/Busy recommendation (and the CleanReminders), but it did not work.
This problem began only AFTER I installed Service Pack-3 for Outlook 2000
(prior to SP-3, my bolding worked perfectly). By any chance is there a patch
that would include a fix for the bolding problem ? Thank you.

Jocelyn,

I tried the /CleanFreeBusy command line switch which failed to
generate the bold dates. Then I tried the /CleanReminders switch and
still no luck.

Am I running out of solutions? Thanks.

In that case, try starting Outlook once with the /CleanFreeBusy
switch and see if that clears up the problem. If you need help
using Outlook command line switches, look he

Jocelyn,

Thank you for replying. I meet all the criteria and still the dates
are not bold. For example, on 6 Mar 05 (1 week from now), there is
a birthday reminder. When the event is open it indicates to "show
time as busy" and the 6 March date in the Date Navigator is NOT
bold. Why? The date is within the 12 month period and it is marked
as BUSY.

Any further suggestions may help. Thank you.

Bolding in the Date Navigator only occurs on days that contain
appointments that are marked as "Busy", "Tentative" or "Out of
Office", and that are within 10 months into the past and 2 months
into the future. Appointments that are further into the past or
future will not cause bolding, nor will appointments or events
marked as "Free".

This is a problem of convenience. I am running Outlook 2002 with
XP Home. When I bring up the calendar, none of the dates
containing reminders are bold in the date navigator.

The box is checked to display bold dates in the Calendar's current
view settings.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
