O2k7: "copy to my calendar" button missing ?!

[AlexT.]

Folks

I'm having a wierd problem - I guess I'm overlooking something
obvious.

I have a public calendar and and my personal calendar. When creating
events in the shared (public) calendar I'd like to copy them in my
personal one with a single click.

Up to Outlook 2007 I had in the event form a button to "copy [event]
to personal calendar".

For some reason it is not anymore in the 2k7 ribbon.

I have hunted it in the "customize quick access bar" but for some
reason it stays dimmed no matter what I do...

Any idea ?

Regards

when the public calendar is open and you make a new item, you'll have a button in the Actions chunk to 'copy to my calendar' - next to the invities button. Actions is the first chunk under the Appointments tab

Hmm.. Don't see it

In my Action items I have

Save & Close
Invite other participants
Open private calendar
Delete
Transfer as iCal

FWIW runing a french verison of O2k7 but I guess it should not be
relevant...

Thanks for your help

Are you in the public folder calendar? It's not visible otherwise.

Is that a shared calendar (other users calendar) or an exchange server
public folder calendar? The button is only visible in exchange server
public folder calendars.

Hmm... it says "shared calendar"... I have no admin rights on that
server but will double check that it is indeed a public folder ASAP.
We might be on something, although I can't see why the admin would
have gone into the trouble of not setting up a public folder.

Thanks

Hit Ctrl+6 - this will show the folder list and you can look for public
folders.

bingo - shared calendar, not a public folder

haven't even thought anyone would implement the shared calendar in
such a way... bummer !

Anyway many thanks for your help and patience !
