I'm not claiming anything other than Outlook 2003 shows the week containing
April 19 as Week 17. The OP made the claim, and I observed that Outlook has
the same behavior.
I don't really care what week it is, the only point I'm interested in is
that Internet Explorer 8 is not the source of the numbering errort, if there
is one. IE8 does not have a calendar.
