We have weekends of Thu/FRI instead of SAT/SUN in this part of the world.
When I go for Compressed week-end option, it always compressed SAT/SUN
instead of THU/FRI. This started happening after recent re-installation of
outlook.
Version: Outlook 2003 on Win-XP

what is your first day of the week set for?
what language / regional settings are you using?

As far as I can tell, Sat/Sun were the only two days that compressed view
would combine in any version of Outlook from 2003 on back.

It worked fine on this PC before the re-installation and it still works fine
on other PCs. It compresses THU/FRI, as it is our week-ends here !

First-day of the week- Saturday

Irrespective of what first-day or week-ends I choose, it always compresses
SAT/SUN.

This started happening ONLY after recent re-installation of Office.
The same is working perfectly on other Outlook-2003 installed on other PCs.

Was just Outlook/Office reinstalled or did you also reinstall windows?
Reinstalling office shouldn't have an effect, but a new windows install
could.

I got it working using Sat as first day and Sat - Wed as the work week.
Someone had the same problem as you a couple of years ago and I couldn't
figure out how they did it. They never mentioned where they were in the
world so I didn't think to change regional settings. (Thanks for that
clue.) Using Vista, I did it by changing the regional and language settings,
on both location and admin tab, system locale. That forced a reboot and it
worked.

I'm still trying to figure out what needs changed on WinXP to make it work.
Do you have the Right-to-left tab in Outlook's tools, options? That showed
up when I made the language changes.

Yup. It has the Right-To-Left TAB

Oops! The Right-to-Left does not show on the problematic PC
It showed on mine, which works OK !

Ok. So the language setting that is required for the different weekends is
not installed. Compare the settings in Control panel, Regional and language
settings to see if they are identical.
