In Cal View display a Public Folders Calendar in Other Cal Sectn

[Guest]

In OL2003, when are in Calendar View, how do you display a Public Folders
Calendar in the "Other Calendars" section? Can you do that?

add it to the public folder favorites, then you'll see it in other
calendars.

It is currently in my Public Folders Favorites, but I do not see it when I am
Displaying "Calender" View on the left pane under the section called Other
Calendars. There are 3 section to the left pane, the mini calendar, My
Calendars, and Other Calendars. How can I get the public folder calendar to
appear in that view? Or is it something that can't be done? Thank you.

Its name _should_ show up with a check box next to it in the Other Calendars
section.

I have about 8 calendars that I have added by clicking on the link "open a
shared calendar", but none of those are from the public folders or the public
folders favorites (of which there is only one calendar--our IT on-call
calendar). There are both resource calendars and personal shared calendars.
So how do I get the one calendar that is a public folder calendar to show up
under the calendar view so I can put a check in it's little check box when I
want to view it? Thanks and I hope you understand what it is I'm trying to
do.

Remove it from public folder favorites and then add it back. The other
option is resetting the nav pane but you'll need to redo the other
calendars.

Adding it to Favorites did not work for me either. I did, however, right
click on the calendar while it was in Favorites and I had a new option to Add
to Other Calendars. And that worked. So it was a two step process - add to
Favorites and then from there, add to other calendar. I am using Outlook
2003. I believe it used to only take one step (adding to Favorites
automatically added it to Other Calendars.)

Adding to "Favorites" and adding it to the Public Favorites folder aren't the
same thing. To add to the "Other Calendar" area, just drag a public folder to
the Public Folder Favorites folder.

When I clicked on "Add to Favorites" it did indeed add it to Public Folder
Favorites. So what is the difference? Dragging to Public Folder Favorites and
clicking on "Add to Favorites" both put the calendar in the same place.
Neither option adds it automatically to "Other Calendars" like the original
question wanted to happen. Either way, I still had to right click on the
calendar while it was in "Favorites" in order to add it to Other Calendars.

It did for me.

Having just found this (after asking a question myself about viewing public
calendars), I tried this and it worked perfectly for two different users.
Thanks
