Holiday diary

[Guest]

How do I create a holiday diary for an office where everyone can see when
people are on holiday?

Thanks!

First you'll need to tell us what version of Outlook you use and how you get
your email (Exchange server, POP, IMAP, etc).

Thanks

Sorry, 2007 with Vista. We have exchange on our server.

In that case, see http://www.slipstick.com/calendar/scheduleall.htm

Thank you. Can you refer me to an article which explains the difference
between shared folders and public folders? I figured out how to create a
holiday calendar as a shared folder but then everyone sees it with my name
first. When I tried a public it isn't visible under the calendars tab and so
can't be overlaid with the regular calendar.

Can a public folder be seen in the section it belongs, ie. public contacts
under contacts and public calendars under calendars etc.?

A shared folder is still contained in your mailbox, a public folder is
contained in a central store outside of your mailbox.

If you add a public folder calendar to your Public Folder Favourites
(right-click menu)in Outlook 2003 or 2007 then you should see it in your
Calendars. The same goes for contacts etc.
