I talked with microsoft about outlook not printing more than one item per day
in month mode. The customer support guy said it was a bug and that it should
be corrected in the future.
CPA does print multiple items per day. All I am looking for in a CPA print
is a "simple" format but eliminating the month before and month after banner
at the top of the page to increase the room to print items on the calendar
day cells. Also, I have tried to print a month veiw CPA outputs at two 5.5
x 8.5 pages per sheet and can't seem to get it to work. It requests legal
sized paper. It seems strange to me that microsoft would make a product like
this with so many deficencies and so little support.
Thanks for the help so far. I'll google XML and see what I can find out. I
used to do some HTML stuff so maybe I can figure out something.
