In Lotus Notes 7, it was possible to scroll a calendar in a monthly view, so that it started on an arbitrary Monday and showed the next five weeks or so. In this way one could see all of a three-week trip that spanned a month end.

In Lotus Notes 8, it appears to be possible only to show whole months, and the ability to scroll the view has been removed.

Am I correct in this, or is there a trick or setting to restore the old behaviour?

Sounds like a question to Super User forum, not coding related. – Panu Haaramo Jan 29 at 10:32

This is true at least for all releases up to 8.5.3. And it cannot be customized in Designer. In Notes 9 Beta it works as it was implemented prior to R8.

Why couldn't it be customized in Designer? You can rewrite the entire design if you want, it just wouldn't be easy. – Zach Jan 31 at 15:00
OK, let me correct this: to my best knowledge it cannot be customized. The calendar behaviour does not only rely on a view but also on how the view is displayed in Notes. I think this is part of the client core. Correct me if I am wrong, I would be really interested in this from a technical point of view. BTW: This feature was heavily requested at last year's Lotusphere in the Ask the product managers session. It was promised for a future release and I think this is one reason why it has been implemented in Notes 9. – Michael Ruhnau Feb 1 at 9:03
Honestly, you probably know more about it than I do, customizing major features of the mailfile is beyond what I typically do anyway. I was under the impression that the mail and calendar were all database features with the client just being a wrapper that displayed them. I know there are some features that don't work in basic mode, so some of the features may be reliant on the eclipse based client though. – Zach Feb 1 at 14:36
