Creating a separate shared calendar for a group

[gedditoffme]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a calendar for a small group of people to put their
availability. Our computers use Outlook 2003.

I tried creating a new calendar folder in my outlook, then changing the
sharing permissions to the users I want, but I can't work out how to access
it on another computer - by clicking on "add a shared calendar" it will only
add my own default calendar.

Is this the right way to go about it?

I'd probably use a public folder for this sort of calendar - subfolders can
only be opened if the mailbox is added to the profile.
See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sharesubfolder.asp for the method.

You are using Exchange server, correct? That is the only way to share a
calendar with other outlook users.

If the admin gave you permission to create public folder calendars, right
click on the public folders and choose New folder. If you don't have
permission to create a folder, you'll need to speak with the exchange
administrator.
