Calendar view not saving

Question

In Microsoft Outlook, I used to be able to view 8 days of the week by dragging the start date to the end date. For example, I'd click January 7 and drag my mouse to January 14 to view all 8 days at once. If I changed to Mail view and returned to Calendar view, it would remain in that view. If I opened my Outlook the following day, it would automatically change the start and end dates to the current 8 days, so January 8-15 in the example above. This Calendar view no longer remains if I change to my Mail view.

I've tried saving this view as a default, but it saves a Weekly view instead.

I don't like on the Week view that the calendar always starts at the first day of the week (whatever you've set in the Options). I want the calendar to start at today's date if in Week view. I don't want to the see the previous days that have already past.

Hi, I'm Diane and I'm happy to help you today.

When you restart Outlook, is it opening to the calendar folder?

Which version and build of Outlook are you using? See File, Office Account for the information if using classic Outlook.

Outlook cannot save settings like that in custom views. I know it will reopen in the week view, but don't recall it ever working with a custom number of days but will test it with the day view. (In a quickie test, it is working when I switch folders - I used alt+9 to select 9 days and it retained the selection when I switched to mail and back to calendar.)

Let me know how it goes, I'm here to help you further if needed.
