Hi, maggie Thanks for the further explanation. FWIW, I tried creating some things on my Outlook calendar. See this image. I have tested this several times and, as far as the 30-day view, I will only see 3 items on one date. The triangle will appear if there are more 'below.' Then when I click on the day in question (Wed.) I get this page, where I do have 4 items listed at the top. Is this the page where you say you only see a few of the items that you have scheduled while others are hidden somewhere ? Or is it on a different page ? The only reason I'm still a bit confused -- besides, of course, the fact that I'm 'not2bright' ;-) -- is that I only see the triangle on the 30-day page. On the 'one-day' page, no matter how many items I add, I still see them listed at the top of that page. So I'm wondering which page/view you are at when you see the triangle. :-\ (Btw, I added these test events by double-clicking on 'Wednesday' on the 30-day view and filling in the information. Doing it this way adds them to the list at the top of the page on the one-day view. But if I go to the menu bar at the top left and click 'new' and then click 'appointment,' the appointment scheduled will not display in that list of events at the top. It will instead display somewhere below that list, in the hourly listing. Could you be creating different kinds of events that affects where they are visible on the calendar ?) Anyway, perhaps based on the images of my test calendar you can clarify a bit more where you're not seeing all your events listed. :-) Also, FWIW, (following owbist's suggestion) I've added below a link to some YouTube tutorials on Outlook Calendar. I haven't looked at any of them yet myself, but perhaps one of them might be of help. I'll keep playing with Outlook to see if I can find what you're describing. :-) Here is a link that might be useful: Outlook Calendar Tutorials

There are a couple of dirty ways of doing it. Open your address book, right click on the first address click 'copy'. Paste into your word processor. Repeat for all names. Now you need to clean up the document to your own liking and save. Or next time you send to everyone include yourself. Use CC, not BCC for the addresses. When you receive your copy open it. Now click on the first name in the CC list to highlight it, hold the 'Shift' button and tap 'End'. You now have the top row highlighted so right click anywhere along that line and click 'Save'. Now you can paste this into a word processor. Repeat till all lines are done. (Going to full screen helps here because you get more names per line) Save the document, sort it out and save again. Messy but ... LOL.

There is a very effective program that you can download for free called "Spam-Aid", it will block ALL messages that are from anyone that is not listed in your address book.It is installed on your computer as a separate program and you can use it, or bypass it to check your email the usual way without anything being blocked. Just keep in mind when using Spam-Aid to check you mail, EVERYTHING is blocked and deleted at the server except for messages from those that are listed in your address book. It is very effective at what it does, I use it and am well pleased with it. I might add that the program does have a way for those whom you know that are not listed in your address book to get a messsage delivered to you by way of a "password" which they can obtain from a clue you give them in setting up the program. Just check it out, you may want to use it, you may not - but it works. http://www.topshareware.com/Spam-Aid-download-12249.htm

I'm sorry I think this is user set up error here. After the creation of a message rule did you select the "Apply Now" button? Did you select all the "OK" buttons when exiting? I ask as I have been remiss in clicking all the necessary buttons when building a rule, and it has failed. In your frustration to get the message rule option to work, did you create multiple entries for the same rule? If so, remove all but one. In a last ditch effort you could remove all the message rules and start from the beginning. DA
