I have an app that I wrote in R5 that uses a embedded calendar view in a subform that defaults to a 5 day week. The R6 users default to the one day view which is unacceptable by the users and it is not easy to change ( week format is not bolded so you have to switch to the Month before you can click on the week drop down to choose which format). This is not User friendly and the users are scheduling events on different days here during the week and need to see the entire week to do so. I have tried to use the caledar format command but I get the “Cannot execute the specified command” error. Any help? Thanks

“The R6 users default to the one day view which is unacceptable by the users…”
How about setting the view’s initial format property to “1 week”
“and it is not easy to change ( week format is not bolded so you have to switch to the Month before you can click on the week drop down to choose which format).”
Did you know that you can right click on a calendar to change views, go to today, etc.

I’m not sure that I understand here… instead of having people modify their defaults, why not modify the design of the calendar view in your application? i.e. edit this to say “Weekly” or whatever:

Thanks guys but the initial format is set to work week and for the r5 users it comes up correct, it is only for the r6 users it comes up wrong. The users complain about it constantly. Why do I have to change the format, why can’t it be like it was before, Today is Thursday would I want to schedule something for Monday now. etc etc etc. Is there something in the R6 persons document or user preferences. I do not have R6 designer yet.
Thanks

I would check that on ND6 machines. When you design a calendar view, the layout setting is “Default” to start with. What “default” is depends on the user (it’s a preference), so this may affect your application.

Have noticed the same problem, have had to create two views, one for notes 6 users and one for notes 5 users and hide them in the outline based on the version.
In R6 we have noticed that it remembers the last format viewed by the user if the initial format is set to -default-.
Hope this helps
