Using Multiple Calendars in Outlook

[John N]

I understand that in Outlook 2003, you can view calendars
side by side in your view pane.

I do not have Outlook 2003, but I have Outlook 2000.

Does anyone know if that feature of viewing calendars side
by side also exists in Outlook 2000, or was than one of
the enhancements for 2003?

Thanks

In earlier versions, you can view multiple calendars side-by-side by opening
them in separate windows. They will not, of course, scroll together as they
do in OL2003.

Sue,

Thanks for your reply.

Is there an upgrade from OL2000 to OL2003 where OL2003
gets installed right over OL2000? Or, do you have to
uninstall OL2000 and then install OL2003?

Thanks

John

Sue:

Thanks again,

Also, two more questions:

1) What are the steps you need to take to get two (or
more) calendars to view side by side?

2) Is there a way to have the two (or more) calendars
that are in the view, also print side by side? If so, how
do you do that?

Thanks,

John

Installing Outlook 2003 will automatically cause any previous version to be
removed.

1) In the Calendar navigation pane, you'll see checkboxes for calendar
folders in .pst files, your mailbox, and Public Folders\Favorites, plus a
command to open another user's folder.

2) No.

Sue,

Thanks for all your help thus far. Now more questions:

We are on a network, and so for example, on my personal
computer, I want my own calendar, and then I want to also
veiw beside it one of the network shared calendars.

Is this possible, and if so how?

Also, I assume then that if you can view a shared calendar
next to my personal calendar, that you could view more
than one networked shared calendar?

Thanks again,

John

What do you mean by "network shared calendars"? Outlook can display
calendars from Exchange public folders, other Exchange users' mailboxes, or
Windows SharePoint Services events lists.

We are on a peer to peer network, and each workstation
user will have their own personal calendar at their
workstation, and then will all have access to the shared
calendar.

I was wanting to know if you can display in the view the
personal calendar along side the one that is shared.

Thanks,

John

If the calendar is visible in your Folder List, you should be able display
it side-by-side with your other calendars. I have no idea, of course, what
kind of shared calendar you might have in mind, since Outlook doesn't
support any such thing on a peer-to-peer network without other software.

Sue:

I continue to appreciate your replies. Thanks for all
your help thus far.

Perhaps to put some closure on this for now, here are some
perhaps final claifications/questions:

1) The shared calendars I am talking about show up in the
Folders list, not as a sub folder to the general calendar
folder, but just as one of the many folders listed in
general. So for instance we do have:

Inbox
Outbox
Deleled
Calendar
Shared Calendar 1 (or public calendar 1)
Shared Clanedar 2 (or public canendar 2)
Contacts
Notes
Tasks
etc.

That is to say we don't have:

Calendar
----shared calendar 1
----shared calendar 2

There are not shared or public or any calendars that are
sub calendars to the general calendar listing.

So if I wanted to view Calendar and Shared calendar 1 side
by side, what keystrokes or configuration do I need to do
to accomplish this?

Also, to accomplish this on a peer to peer network, we are
using a software interface called Workgroupshare, which is
specifically designed to share Outlook's features in a
rather simple fashion.

Also, I assume that this viewing "side by side" is only in
Outlook 2003, and that earlier versions would require
opening up the 2nd (or 3rd) calendar in a "new window" but
not having all the features and usability as the true side
by side?

Thanks again,

John N

Any calendar folder in your .pst file should automatically appear in the
list of folders on the Calendar navigation pane. Click the check box for the
ones you want to display. Only Outlook 2003 has side-by-side calendars that
scroll together in one window.
