To specify a date to go to in a current view, such as a CalendarView object, you should first obtain a View object for the current view by using Explorer.CurrentView instead of Folder.CurrentView. The following code sample demonstrates how to perform this action.

Sub TestGoToDate() 
 
 Dim oCV As Outlook.CalendarView 
 
 Dim oExpl As Outlook.Explorer 
 
 Dim datGoTo As Date 
 
 
 
 datGoTo = "11/7/2005" 
 
 
 
 ' Display the contents of the Calendar default folder. 
 
 Set oExpl = Application.Explorers.Add( _ 
 
 Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar), olFolderDisplayFolderOnly) 
 
 oExpl.Display 
 
 
 
 ' Retrieve the current view by calling the 
 
 ' CurrentView property of the Explorer object. 
 
 Set oCV = oExpl.CurrentView 
 
 
 
 ' Set the CalendarViewMode property of the 
 
 ' current view to display items by day. 
 
 oCV.CalendarViewMode = olCalendarViewDay 
 
 
 
 ' Call the GoToDate method to set the date 
 
 ' for which information is displayed in the view. 
 
 oCV.GoToDate datGoTo 
 
End Sub
