Making a Public Calendar a default view?

[mike]

Is there a way to make a user's Outlook 2003 Calendar default to a public
Calendar. I have an Administrator that use both calendars, his personal
Outlook for his own personal appointments and then uses the Public calendar
for is business appointments. He predominately uses his public calendar and
hates that he has to click on it every morning. I've added it to his
favorites but whenever he closes his Outlook and reopens it, he has to
reselect it.

Anyone have any ideas?

thx
mike

No. It's a much requested feature.

If I'm understanding this correctly (and I think I am)...you cannot create an
additional calendar (Outlook 2003) that you can share with other users,
correct?

Help says you cannot, but I didn't know if there was a possible workaround
without having to create a mailbox on the Exchange server.

When I create a calendar "folder" in my calendar, I have a permissions tab
that allows me to delegate, but it doesn't open when the delegate opens my
personal calendar.

Thank you!

No, that's not what I said at all. The original poster asked whether a Public Folders calendar can be the calendar that Outlook first displays when it opens. Your question is totally unrelated (and would have been better posed in its own post rather than piggybacking on another discussion).

To access 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.
