How do I share one of my additional calendars with other users?

[Guest]

I have created a calendar in "my calendars" that I have set the properties
and sharing options to reflect who in my offfice would like I would liek to
have access to those calendars. WHen my co workers go to open that calendar,
all they can find is my basic calendar. How do I share this additional
calendar?

To access a shared folder that isn't one of the folders listed on the File | Open | Other User's Folder dialog, the mailbox owner needs to grant "folder visible" permission to the root of the mailbox and any other parent folders of the shared folder, as well as appropriate permission -- at least Reviewer -- on the shared folder itself.

The user who needs access then goes into Tools | E-mail Accounts or Tools | Services (depending on the Outlook version), brings up the properties for the Exchange Server service, and on the Advanced tab, adds the mailbox.

For more information on folder permissions, with how-to screen shots, see http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/permissions.htm and http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/preview.aspx?AssetID=HA011134811033

I'm not sure I really understnad this answer. I am trying to allows others to
view an additional calendar, which i can view on my computer, I did the
sharing calendars tutaorial, and I didn't feel my questions were answered.
any other hints

What don't you understand? You have to grant to each person you'd like to
see that folder "folder visible" permisson to the mailbox containing the
folder you created in the My Calendar area. A folder must exist in a
mailbox. RIght-click the root of the mailbox and choose Sharing. Click the
Add button and add the person who should see the mailbox. Click OK. Then
check the FoOlder Visible box and click Apply. Do this for each person.
When you're done, click OK. Now, right-click the calendar folder itself and
choose Sharing. Use the Permission Level drop-down to select the Reviewer
permission for each person sho should access that folder.

Another user can only view folders in your Exchange mailbox. They can view default folders, like Inbox and Calendar, through the File | Open | Other User's Folder command. In order for them to view any other folders in your mailbox, you must take certain steps below to make it possible for them to see your folder hierarchy and they must take certain steps below to add your mailbox to their Outlook mail profile as a secondary mailbox.

Did you try the procedure as outlined?

I understand why curiousvpic is not understanding because I'm trying to do
the same thing you are saying and I'm not able to share my additional
calendars. I can share my default calendar but not my other calendars that I
have created.

Same question, did you complete all the steps ***and*** did the other user add your mailbox to their Exchange account settings?
