Exclamation Outlook 2003 calendar-can't view company name?
OK, here is a good one...I use Outlook 2003 for business and use the calendar to follow up on opportunities. I set up a meeting for a contact and then put what I want to follow up in the subject line. When I want to work, I choose the current view of my calendar as "Active appointments".

I have customized my columns with start, company, contacts, and subject. My problem is that the "Company" column does not pick up the company name/information from the contact information. There is an exception for one company out of hundreds but I can't figure out how that contact was set up and why it is the only one which shows the information I need.

Your help would be greatly appreciated as I have been chasing this for a long time!

Cheers!

is it possiable to get screenshot of what you talking about. here is a link to download a free printscreen app http://www.download.com/Gadwin-Print...-10123018.html
some times it's hard to fix without a look at the settings of mostly editing options

from what i can gather, the field for company name can be added only from ALL DOCUMENTS FIELDS. this is where the company name will be added as an option to view. even in you contact list, u don't see the name of the company though you have told it to included in the current view.
i can not imagine that microsoft will not see that as an editing flaw..
i'm going to work on this with one of my friends & see if we can figure it out.
