I currently have two computers that we use Outlook calendar to do some
scheduling. I want to use the automatic formatting capability for the view to
color code the activities based on location. In the customize view and define
view for the Day/week/month the automatic formatting button is greyed out.
Does anyone know how to enable this feature?

autoformatting only works with table views.

It will only work in a table view in Outlook 2000 and earlier. Color coding
in Day/Week/Month view was introduced in Outlook 2002.
