Calendar sharing

[Jon LaBarge]

Hello,

There is a user in our ORG that has multiple calendars set up on her
profile. She has set permissions to each calendar accordingly, yet when
another user tries to open a calendar of her, they can only get the Default
Outlook caleadar. Any iseas on why the others are not an option?

TIA!

In Outlook 2003 and earlier versions, to provide access to 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

FWIW, Outlook 2007 makes this process much, much easier.
