Today customize problem (...not the known "button" problem, please read)

[Raphael Desberg]

Hello,

no, don't worry, i will not ask again the "my customize today page is not
functionning, what should i do ?".

I have a problem with outlook 2002, while it looks like ok with outlook
2000.

To customize the Today page with outlook 2000, you are able to modify the
content itself to show another calendar than yours, for example. The "how
to" is here (extracted from OutToday.doc, found on microsoft site):

"
Showing different Calendar and Tasks folders
By default, the Calendar and Tasks databinding tables show the information
from your main Calendar and Tasks folders. However, you can point the
databinding controls at other Calendar or Tasks folders. Just add a <param>
tag to the control object that specifies which folder path to use. For
example:

<object ID="CalList" CLASSID="CLSID:0468C085-CA5B-11D0-AF08-00609797F0E0">

<param NAME="Module" VALUE="Calendar">

<param NAME="Path" VALUE="\\Public Folders\Favorites\Team Calendar">

</object>



You can specify the absolute path this way:

<param NAME="Path" VALUE="\\Personal Folders\My Projects\Crandall
Project\Calendar">

"



My problem is that i've got absolutly no result with this method using
outlook 2002. Nothing appears, just white space instead.


I haven't yed found previous answers before : if so, please apologize and
show me the link.



Thank you !

This is what happens:

There's a fix for the buggy databinding control.
"Outlook 2002 Post-Service Pack 2 Hotfix Rollup Package
June 7, 2003"
Do you have any payed assistance contract with Microsoft?
Instead it seemes you have to pay subscribing a new one.
No pay, no fix.

Dear Stefania,

thank you for your help.

We asked the fix to Microsoft, it seems you can have it for free. What a
good idea... ;-)

For you and steve, i'll write here what happened as soon as i've got and
installed the fix.

Kisses from France,

Raphael.

Yesterday I emailed MSoft through their free online support website and they
sent me the hotfix via email overnight.

The installation instructions were a little sketchy, but I had it up and
running within a few minutes.

Now my databinding is working fine.
