Possible to have calendar display current date + 330 days in futur

Hi,
Looking for a way that could have Outlook Calendar display the individual
dates plus a date that is 330 days in the future. When looking to schedule
future airline reservations, available schedule are usually only available
upto 330 days from currently date. Having the Outlook calendar to display
the individual montly dates plus also display a date that is 330 days in the
future would help to let me know to start looking for schedules for a
particular date.

Jeffro,

It is possible to create a User-defined field for your calendar folder. This
field would use the starting date of a calender event entry and add 330. The
field would display the future date. Creating a user-defined field is very
simple. The formula is very simple.

This field will display in any tabular listing ( a view based upon table
view) such as a category view. This field does not atuomatically display on a
calendar layout /printout. I don' know how to change the Outlook default
calendar form layouts to add a custom field. (Perhaps another user who is a
forms expert can help here.)

To create a custom field (Outlook 2003)
In calendar.
Select view by category as your view. This will create a table view sorted
by cateories.
Right click on any column header (field name). On the pop-up menu select
Field chooser.
(I think a field chooser icon is available on the default toolbars, but I've
customized my tool bars, so I'm not certain.)

Such a field could display only in table views and individual appointments (using a custom form). It would not be available in the day'/week/month view, which I think was one of Jeffro's requirements.

the closest you can come in outlook is identifying the day 330 days from
now - in the date field type 330d - when you tab out of the field it will
fill in the date.

Jeffro, Sue, Diane,

I spent part of today experimenting. I think this could be a possible
/partial solution. Using this method a calendar could display a one-day
banner event showing the label "330 PD:1/28/08" or "PD:1/28/08" or however
the user wanted to configure it.

I wrote it up in a semi formal manner.

=== Displaying Julian dates in Outlook calendars. ===
=== Displaying Projected dates in Outlook calendars. ===

In recent posts to the Outlook calendar discussion group, regarding julian
dates, and project dates, it has been discussed that no method exists to
modify the Outlook standard calendar forms to accept user defined fields.
Many users would like to add Julian dates to their calendar printouts, and
one user wanted to add field that showed a projected date (start day +330
days).
