  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
