This only applies to Outlook 2007, it's new in the object model.

Get the current view and if it's a CalendarView object you can use the
.DisplayedDates property, which returns a string array of all the dates
currently displayed. The .CalendarViewMode property will return an enum
member telling you what view is displayed (day, month, etc.).

Does DisplayedDates actually work for you, Ken? WIth the standard Day/Week/Month view active, even the code from the Help topic doesn't work for me. It returns -1 for UBound(varArray).

I was also glad when I found DisplayedDates, but it is always an empty array
for me too.

No, you're right Sue, it doesn't work at all here. I could swear it worked
for me in B1 or B2 but I don't have any installations left of those around
here. One more broken thing in Outlook 2007 I guess <sigh>

FYI: I have also verified that the DisplayedDates is an empty array in the
COM objects too (tried to do a macro).

It was confirmed as a bug by MS. We're waiting to find out if it's scheduled
to be fixed in SP1.
