Automate Adding Another's Users Calendar or Contacts

[Guest]

When a secretary needs access to someone else's contacts or calendars, I open
that user's Outlook account, go to Delegates, give the secretary the
appropriate permissions and then in the folder view right click on the users
Mailbox, Properties and give the secretary rights there as well. I then
remote onto the secretary's computer, go to Tools | E-mail accounts and add
the person there so the secretary can see the information in their folder
list. Question: Someone told me there is a way to send the secretary an
e-mail once the persmissions are in place saying they now had rights to
someone else's contacts/calendar and do they wish to accept. Once they accept
it, the folder is automatically added to their list. Is this possible and, if
so, what is the process?

That's a feature of Outlook 2007. Is that what you have?

Sorry -- I meant to put in the version of Outlook we are using. No, we are
still at Outlook 2003. May be a good reason to upgrade! Thanks for letting
me know.
