I am a freelance musician. My monthly schedule is constantly changing.
I like to be able to look in Outlook 2003 and see my month at a glance
to know if I can accept gigs when people call. The problem is that
Outlook displays Saturday and Sunday in the space of one day on the
month view. if there are more than two events planned for a Saturday or
Sunday, they aren't visible on the calendar in the monthly view. Is
there any patch or plugin that allows you to see all seven days across
instead of grouping Sat & Sun on the same column? Or maybe there is
some patch allowing you to edit the size of the type so that more
events show?

I'm also wondering if maybe I should just use the Yahoo calendar and
reminders. it's just too dangerous professionally, to glance at the
calendar and assume I don't have not gig for Saturday only to find that
I double booked myself because my gig didn't show unless I clicked on
weekly or daily view and scrolled down.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

To show Saturday and Sunday in separate boxes in the month view, choose View | Current View | Customize Current View | Other Settings clear the box for "Compress weekend days"
