Tip 509: Disappearing All Day Events
An Outlook 2007 user asks: “I have the weirdest problem. When I create an All Day Event, I can see it in the Month view, but not in Week or Day (nothing is in the top area except a downward pointing arrow, and clicking on the down arrow just brings up a new blank appointment form). However, I've just noticed that if I'm not Maximized, the events show up in all three views! I'm currently running my monitor at 1680x1050 (don't know if this is the problem). This is driving me nuts - any advice on what I can do to see the events when the program view is Maximized?”
It’s a bug. Well, maybe not a real bug since its caused by a corrupt view, but its easily fixed when you start Outlook with the /cleanviews switch.
