link multiple calendars into 1 main calendar

[Guest]

I have 3 calendars (personal, kids stuff & work). I am wondering if there is
a way to link all 3 into 1 main calendar so I don't have to search through
all 3 before I schedule something, but on the same hand I want to keep the
individual calendars.

I want to enter for example a doctor appt on my personal calendar and have
it show up on the main calendar. (kind of like google does)

Why not use one calendar and either color-code the entries or use categories?

Then there is no way to show an overlaid view of all three calendars. You
have a few choices for OL 2003, as far as I can see: one is to open all
three in separate windows (which it's ideal), or you can copy the contents
of all three to a fourth and then view that (which is what I'd do). You can
also buy a tool that will automate the copying of the contents those
calendars into a fourth, if you still want to keep the original three
separate. See this: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync.asp

With OL 2007, you can overlay multiple calendars so that a single view is
presented.
