Show customised view for public folder in the navigation pane.

[Pip]

I have Office 2003, and exchange server.

Is there a way of getting the views I have created for a public calendar to
show in a the navigation pane without a heap of messing around (described
below)?

At work we use a public folder (calendar) for our main diary.
I have created custom views (with colours for different categories and
filtering) for the public calendar. I have 'published' these views.
However, when you display the public calendar, you can not see the views I
have created. I can get them to show with a little fiddling around: click on
the little box by the name of the puclic calendar, click on 'events' view,
then click on the calendar and then the views I have created will finally
show.
I have tried the 'only show views created for this folder,' but I still have
to muck about to get those to show.

Is there are easier way of getting the views I have created to show?
My work colleagues are not computer savvy and are really stuggling with
these extra steps.

Thank you for replying Milly. I know it is a difficult one.
Does anyone else know of a solution?

No, I don't think there is one. This folder only views don't work as
expected with Outlook's multicalendar view. When you change folders the 'for
this folder only' views don't disappear when you leave the folder. If you
try to apply them to other folders, outlook often crashes.

Thank you for your reply Diane.
It sounds like you've given this a fair go before.
Unfortunately it sounds like I'm going to have to give up on this one. I
guess I can make a suggestion for future versions of outlook.Thank you Diane
and Milly for having a go
