OUTLOOK 2003 with or without exchange server

Guest

I recently have begun upgrading a small office from Outlook 97 with Exchange
Server 5.5 to Outlook 2003. I have some questions about this.

In this office everyone needs to be able to access everyone elses calendars
(6 in all) . With outlook 97, you were unable to do so without using exchange
server.

Now, with Outlook 2003, will they be able to access each others calendar
without using any exchange server?

If they need exchange server, will they be able to remain with exchange
server 5.5 or will they need to upgrade to Exchange Server 2003?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not without using third-party tools.

Any version of Outlook works with any version of Exchange, but you get best results if both are the latest. IIRC, there is a patch or two needed for 5.5 if you're using it with Outlook 2003. Check the KB.
