default calendar

[Guest]

How do I set the default calendar? Specifically the exchange server calendar.
I'm running Outlook 2003.

Your default Calendar is controlled by your mail delivery location. If you
go to Tools, Email Accounts, View or Change existing email accounts you'll
see a mail delivery location. This will either be set to Personal Folders or
your Exchange mailbox. If it's set to your Personal Folders, your default
Calendar will be your Personal Folder Calendar. If it's set to the Mailbox
on the Exchange server, your default Calendar will be the Exchange server
calendar.

There's no way to have your mail delivered to one location and your default
calendar in another location, sorry.

I think the question is, as I have seen many other people asking is, how do
you set the default calendar to be a calendar shared with other persons. My
settings are to allow mail delivery to be via the Exchange server. The
calendar I want is on the Exchange server, however I always get my default
calendar. I want to get the calendar shared with around 10 other people, so
that when I set an appointment it is propogated to the rest of the team as
well as when I receive notifications, it is coming from the same calendar
that everyone sees, which is located on the Exchange server, changing the
settings of my mail delivery will not change the default calendar in this way.

What shall I do?

Do you mean that you want a Public Folder calendar to be your default
calendar? If so, you can't do that. As far as I know your default Calendar
has to be the Calendar folder in your delivery location (be it your mailbox
or a PST file)

Would be nice to be able to bring Outlook up with the public folder of
choice. That way when I use ActiveSync I get the calendar that I need.

Hey Guys I figure something out today that might help everyone on this.....If
you have got your exchange mail box configued right then you can default to
the calendar on load ups in outlook 2003.
(1) On Toolbar click Tools then Options (2) Then click "other" Tab (3)
Advanced Options (4) In startup folder click browse and sort down till you
find your access mailbox--xxx and click calendar. Now every time you open
Office outlook 2003 up it will go directly to that calendar!
I hope this is what you guys are looking for

No, this was about changing the default calendar, which means the following:

Where you have your incoming mails arrived (online or offline folder) ,
there will you also use the calendar.
This means if I use an offline foolder for receiving mails, then all the
meetings I accept will only appear in the offline folder's calendar.

The big problem is that the offline folder is cannot be shared so I have to
copy all the meetings one by one to the online calendar to let others see my
availablity.

Also you cannot set that mails should arrive in the offline folder and the
calendar events in the online one by default.

This thing sucks.

I gave up on microsoft with this as it was going to be costly to share a
public calendar and I went to yahoo which I can create a public calendar and
share it with whom I want to see it as long as they have a yahoo account.
Then I down loaded the IS4Yahoo sync and sync my calendar with that and it
should work or you can http;// the calendar to open to your yahoo calendar
through the calendar in office outlook. You can change this in calendar
settings and homepage tab "http://calendar.yahoo.com/yourcalendar" then click
homepage by default for this

I agree this is a solution, but not at my case.
I need a solution in a corporate environment.
Here I cannot use external calendars.

Thanks anyway.
