[mso] Displaying the current week + next 5 weeks in MS outlook

Dear MSO group members, 

   

   I would like to set up either a macro (keyboard command) or a "calendar 
view" which displays in month format (with Sun Mon ... Fri Sat column headings) 
the current week plus the next 5 weeks. 

 

  The process to acheive this manually is tedius (below). In addition I would 
like to do this several times a day in combination with different "calendar 
views" to display only the events in certain catagories occuring over the next 
5 weeks, so I could really use a macro.

 

   I have all the ingredients but have not found a way to put them all 
together. I have created calendar views which select events (meetings, 
appointments) on catergory. This is great. 

 

In addition, I can use month view to display several weeks of events, however 
as the current date grows closer to the end of the month, the month view is 
less and less practical since is doesnt show enough days into the future (it is 
fixated on showing that month and not the more practical next 5 or 6 weeks.) 
The latter can be achieved manually by the tedius process below. The question 
is how to automate it or incorporate it with a filter-based view?  I imagine 
there is some sort of visual basic macro that could achieve this but I am not a 
VB expert.

 

Thank you for your consideration 

Albert

 

PS: Here is the way to select the next 5-6 weeks: While in  month view 
(navigate to calendar and then select View |  Month) use the mouse to stretch 
the navigation pane 
(alt f1) so that the calendar with each day displayed as just a number shows at 
least the next two months. 

 

Now using the mouse select the ?week number (1-52) ?  to the left of the 
current week (with the red box ). Then HOLDING DOWN THE SHIFT KEY , select the 
?week number in the next month that is 6 weeks ahead of the current week 
number. This shift-click operation will cause the calendar to display 6 weeks 
worth of dates starting with the current week.

 

This is especially helpful when the current date is near the end of the month. 

The trouble is when I now select any of my nice catagory-filtering views the 
display reverts to the basically useless month view and not the current week + 
next 5 weeks view that is much more useful.

 

Ultimately I want to combine this macro with different filters to display 
different categories of appointment and meetings coming up in the next 6 weeks.
