Outlook – How to open Outlook Calendar to a 2-3 week view by default

I cannot test conversation view today but this bit of VBA works elsewhere.

Public Sub GetItemsFolderPath()
    Dim obj As Object
    Dim F As Outlook.MAPIFolder
    Dim Msg$
    Set obj = Application.ActiveWindow
    If TypeOf obj Is Outlook.Inspector Then
        Set obj = obj.CurrentItem
    Else
        Set obj = obj.Selection(1)
    End If
    Set F = obj.Parent
    Msg = "The path is: " & F.FolderPath & vbCrLf
    Msg = Msg & "Switch to the folder?"
    If MsgBox(Msg, vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
        Set Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = F
    End If
End Sub

As promised above, here's my current answer to this question. Instructions are specific to Outlook 2007, but slight variations should also work for 2010 and 2013.

1. In the "View" ribbon, click "View Settings"
2. Click the "Filter..." option
3. Choose the "Advanced" tab
4. Add a rule on the Field "Frequently-used fields" > "Categories"
5. Enter the Condition "doesn't contain"
6. Enter the exact category name under Value
7. Hit "Ok" to close the dialogs
8. In the "View" ribbon, open "Change View" and choose "Save Current View As a New View..."

Voila, now you have saved a view that filters meetings from certain categories. If you want to switch between the trimmed down view and the full calendar view you can use the "Change View" button in the "View" ribbon.
