Number of days in calendar

[wim ossen]

Outlook 2007 SP1
Windows XP Professional SP2

I am trying to change the number of days in my calendar by changing in the
registry the Callday key to i.e. 10

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Today

It does not work. In Outlook the number of days in Customize Outlook Today
is still 7. What to do?

Somewhere I read that I need to let the registry know what version of
Outlook Iam using. Where do I change that?

Thanks in advance

It doesn't work because you have the path wrong. The "11.0" above signifies
Outlook 2003, but even for that you have the path wrong. The path for
Outlook 2003 would be
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Today. You left
out the "Outlook" node. Moreover, you spelled the key wrong. It's
"CalDays", not "CallDay"

You're using Outlook 2007, however, and that uses "12.0" instead of "11.0",
to the path you want is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Today\CalDays

Thanks a lot, Brian. So simple.
Apologies for the typing errors.
In the registry under Office I have five keys, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 8.0 and
9.0. Should I delete four of them and just keep 12.0?

I'd just leave the others alone.
