Sharing Calendars

[froufle]

This should be simple but I've tried Help documents, the MS web site, even
checked the library for books on Outlook 2002. I can't find out where I can
learn about sharing calendars in Outlook 2002 (running on Windows ME).

This is an office environment, and we DO have Microsoft Exchange. We know
how to set permissions and I can see and use my boss's calendar by going to
File|Open|Other User's Calendar. But I can't make it stay; I can't put her
calendar in my Folder List. I'm sure there's a way to do this...

Also, we have each have two sets of folders (Calendars, Contacts, Deleted
Items) -- one resides on the server and one is on our own computer. The
calendar my boss shares is the one on the server, but everything else she
uses (Inbox, Tasks, Contacts) are part of the folders resident on her
computer. How can I disable that calendar, or can I somehow change the
color or something to make it obvious to her she's in the wrong calendar?

Also (sorry), she wants everyone to share a calendar so she's given everyone
access to hers and they go in and put their stuff on it, with their own
initials. I know there's a better way, but amazingly I can't find a
tutorial on how to set up and share calendars!

I know you folks know everything! Please help!

To see folders in your folder list, the mailbox owner needs to grant
Reviewer permission to the root of the mailbox, as well as appropriate
permission on the folder.

The user who needs access then goes into Tools | Services, brings up the
properties for the Exchange Server service, and on the Advanced tab, adds
the mailbox.

After that, the user will see in the folder list all those folders in the
secondary mailbox to which he/she has access and can add any of those
folders to the Outlook Bar. See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/links.htm#addtobar.

Why don't you just use the server calendar and stop using the local one,
which I suspect is in a PST file?
