</div>

is there a way to get outlook to show Sat and Sun as 2 seperate days instead of scrunched into 1. (like a regular hang on your wall calandar)  
it currently displays like:

Mon Tues Wed Thur Fri [Sat/Sun] (as one entry with sat over sunday)  
and I would like it to be like the conventional  
Sun Mon Tues Wed Thur Fri Sat

thanks

I’m using Office 2000, so I don’t know if this feature is in 97, but…

Go to the 31-day calendar view (the one with the scrunched Sat/Sun)  
Right click on any day  
Choose “Customise Current View…”  
Choose “Other Settings…”  
Deselect “Compress Weekend Days”  
Ok/Ok

not exactly the same but close enough to get me to that option, thanks

Mods you can close this whenever your ready, don’t forget to turn off the lights on your way out. 😉
