Users were recently upgraded from Outlook 2000 to 2003. Active Appointments
view now acts differently when a calendar is opened.
(Active Appointments view is a grid style view with a filter to show only
events where the Start date is on or after Today).
With Outlook 2000, when a user opened a public calendar (called "Master
Calendar") in Active Appointments view (with the Start Date field as the
primary sort - ascending) ,the topmost event was selected. Likely this event
would be Today's events. Now with Outlook 2003, when this calendar is opened
in Active Appointments view, the last event is selected (i.e. event could be
in 2009).
This becomes problematic when there are hundreds of events. Users need to
Ctrl + home to get to the top of the list which show the most current events.
Anyone have an idea on how to fix this so that an Active Appointment view
(and the custom views based on this view) opens with the focus set to the top
of the defined sort order?
