I’m attempting to keep calendar appointments for some 10 staff of when they are out of the office (OOO) and would like to have different colors when viewing the combined calendar. e.g., Joe would have RED for all OOO, Sue would have BLUE, Jack would have PURPLE, etc. In viewing some of the answers on a search, the ‘tools → preference → Calendar to-do → colors’, it permit changing ‘background color’ and ‘text color’ depending on ‘entry type’; however, I want to use this for the above stated purpose.
Is this possible? If so, could someone guide me through the feature or point me in the right direction?

you wold have to modify the formula in a color column in the calendar view. Look at the standard view in Designer; there are two color columns: the default color assignments:
REM {this color column is used only if the user has not saved their mail preferences};
meeting := 194:229:255:0:0:0;
appointment := 197:255:228:0:0:0;
reminder := 250:236:218:0:0:0;
event := 240:255:215:0:0:0;
anniversary := 255:232:246:0:0:0;
todo := 197:255:255:0:0:0;
@If(@LowerCase(form) = “task”; todo;
AppointmentType = “0”; appointment;
AppointmentType = “1”; anniversary;
AppointmentType = “2”; event;
AppointmentType = “3”; meeting;
AppointmentType = “4”; reminder; “”)
and a second, overriding color column that reads from the database’s CalColorProfile profile document. You might hard-code your formula or take a tip from the design here and create your own profile document to allow the color assignments to be user-configurable.
