" I would like to be able to see more months in my Outlook To-Do Bar than the one I can see at present. Any suggestions?"

By default, Outlook’s To-Do Bar only displays the current month’s calendar.

It seems, like me, that while you find this is helpful, it does little for providing a quick reference for looking at future months.

You can configure the To-Do Bar to display multiple months (up to 9) and have a quick view of not only the current month, but the next few months as well.

1. Open Outlook.
2. Go to the Menu Ribbon.
3. Click View, mouseover To-Do Bar and select Options...
   
4. Beneath the Show Date Navigator checkbox, use the designated textbox to input the number of month rows you wish to display in your To-Do Bar (1-9, maximum viewable number will depend on your screen size). In this example I've selected two months (the current and the following month)..
   

5. Click OK.
