Shared Calendar

Guest

I want to create a subfolder calendar for Vacation on my Supervisors computer
so the payroll department (2 people) can view and keep track off vacations,
bereavement, jury duty, etc. I do not want his main calendar shared just the
subfolder. Is this possible?

Thank you

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.

For more information on folder permissions, with how-to screen shots, see http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/permissions.htm and http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/preview.aspx?AssetID=HA011134811033

I am sorry - that is just too cumbersome and complicated for the average
office user. I am also trying to share alternate calendars. Perhaps there
is a different way that is more "non-programmer" friendly? If there isn't,
perhaps there should be??

That is not complicated at all.
