How do I set the date to be displayed in a sharepoint calendar

Question

I have a Teamsite that is built around an event that occur in a certain week, The site contains a calendar with the activities for that week.I want to have the calendar display default to showing that week, rather than the current week. Can this be done out of the box?

Answer 1

The view can't be modified to default to a certain date, but you can use query string parameters to make a direct link to the desired week and view. For example, you could modify the Quick Link to point directly to /Lists/Calendar/calendar.aspx?CalendarDate=8/24/2009&CalendarPeriod=week.
