Sharing Calendar in Outlook

[Guest]

Hi,
I am using Exchange 2003 Sp1 with outlook 2003. I have created a additional
calendar in my outlook profile that I would like to share with others. I gave
permission for the people who need it. When another user tries to open this
additional calendar, it does not allow me to choose which calendar I would
like to open. It automatically picks the default calendar that outlook
creates. Is there a way to do this? Also, is there a better way to share a
calendar? Thanks.

Mitch

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
