Using shared calendars and my calendar is not my default any longe

[Seerock]

How do I make my calendar the default one when I open the calendar folder?
When I open the calendar one of my shared calendars is defaulted and the only
way to see mine is to do a File Open. When I go back to my Inbox and then
back to Calendar my calendar has disappeared again.

Any help is appreciated.

The default calendar is always the Calendar folder in the delivery location.
You can't change that. Calendars shared by others that you reference can
never be the default Calendar. Can you describe what you mean more clearly?

Version of Outlook? What type of email account?

You can't change the "default" calendar but you can set outlook to open to
any calendar in your profile. Tools, Options, Other, Advanced options to
select a different start folder.

I will try.
I open Outlook which opens to the Inbox (which is my inbox)
When I click on the calendar icon on the Navigation Pane, this opens by
bosses Calendar and not mine.
The drop down icons show
"All Calendar Items" shows mine (Mailbox-Cathy)
"My Calendar" shows my boss (Mailbox-Sid) - which is being shown
"Other Calendars" shows our two meeting rooms
"People's Calendars" shows all the other people's calendars that are shared
with me

The only way I can see my calendar is to go up to File, Open, which will
open my calendar next to Sid's - but mine will go away if I leave the
calendar folder and go into another folder (Inbox, Contacts, etc.) and then
return to the Calendar folder.

Outlook 2007

I have tried Tools, Options, Other, Advanced - and have Make Outlook the
default program for E-mail, Contacts, and Calendar.

This doesn't fix it.

Follow that path again and then use the dropdown to designate which calendar
is the default. Making Outlook the default has nothing to do with your
problem.

That didn't work either the only fix was to reload Outlook and start over.
