One our customers recently started using SharePoint. Because of the nature of their\u00a0business sometimes it feels like SharePoint was developed with them in mind!<\/p>\n

One of the things they wanted to do was keep track of room bookings.<\/p>\n

Pretty straightforward. They decided to have four seperate calendars (i suggested one calendar with a room field but it was their decision), one for each room. I then created a web part page and dropped a web part for each calendar onto the page. The theory being that at a glance they could see room availability for a particular month.<\/p>\n

All seemed well initially and they started added events.<\/p>\n

Until i got a call saying “i just hit the save button but it doesn’t show up on the calendar”<\/p>\n

WTF?<\/p>\n

I tried it myself and she was right. I drilled down into the individual calendar and the missing items were there.<\/p>\n

If you want to re-create this for yourself do the following.<\/p>\n

\u00a01) Create two new events lists (Calendar 1, Calendar 2)
\n2) Create a new web part page
\n3) Place a web part for each of the calendars onto the page
\n4) Set the view for both web parts to Calendar
\n5) Create a new event for the first calendar in the NEXT month (e.g 7\/2\/2007)
\n6) Repeat step 5 for second calendar
\n7) Return to the web part page, click the ‘>’ button to select the next
\nmonth in the calendar
\n8) Note that only ONE of the events appears<\/p>\n

(BTW this also applies with one calendar and multiple web parts of that calendar)<\/p>\n

The problem occurs when you click the > to change the month. If you stay in the current month all is well. I experiented with tweaking the URL and had some success but i couldn’t expect the users to do this.<\/p>\n

I searched around and found the follow post<\/a>. Same issue. Claimed it had been filed as a bug with a MS support. But check out the date..2005<\/p>\n

I thought there must be a fix if it had been filed so long ago. I couldn’t find anything so i posted in the managed newsgroups and this is the reply i got<\/p>\n

\u00a0Thanks for posting in the partner newsgroups.<\/p>\n

Yes, this is a limitation when placing multiple calendar view Web Parts on
\na page.\u00a0 We can place multiple event list view web parts on any page but we
\ncannot use the calendar view for more than one web part. Currently there is
\nno fix available.\u00a0 I am sorry for the inconvenience it may cause.<\/p>\n

I personally think what you would like to implement is very reasonable and
\nunderstand how frustrating it is when you find that the product does not
\nmeet your needs. Your advice will be archived for our development team so
\nthat they may improve this by an update patch to be released in the future
\nor in the next version of the product.<\/p>\n

We strive to capture any and all product issues and product feedback so as
\nto ensure that we are continuously developing Microsoft products to meet
\ncustomer needs; this is exactly why feedback such as yours is always taken
\nvery seriously.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Wonderful!<\/p>\n

I checked this out in WSS v3 and it works without any problems. The customer has just put a lot of effort into their deployment so i dont think they’ll be wanting to upgrade just yet.<\/p>\n

To get around the problem in the end i created a single calendar, added a field for the rooms. Created views for each of the rooms and created a web part page with links to each of the views. Not quite as elegant as what they originally wanted but it’ll do for now<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
