updating internet calendar OL 2007

[angie]

I posted this question in the General Outlook thread (and of course received
no reply) about a week ago; I hope it's not completely inappropriate to
repost it now that I found the right thread.

I have a few questions about calendars and using Publish to Internet in
Outlook 2007. I have one calendar that is private and is shared by me and two
other coworkers.

If I make changes to the calendar, do I have to re-publish it or does it
somehow magically update itself?

I set my coworkers up with Live passwords, sent them invitations to my
calendar and downloaded the calendar to both of their comptuers. Then I made
a change the other day and when it didn't appear on my coworkers' computers,
I published it again and then waited a day to see if it appeared, which it
didn't. Is there something they're supposed to do to "download" my calendar?
I thought it was supposed to happen automatically on their end.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

It should update hourly - you can log into in online to check. I think it
should update their calendars hourly also, but I'll have to double check on
that.

Thanks, Diane. It's not updating at all right now (on mine or on my
coworkers') so I must have done something wrong. I'll go through the
directions again to see if I missed anything.

I don't think you missed anything unless you told it not to update (I think
its an option). The publishing service seems to be a bit buggy though.

I'll try starting from scratch to see if I see anything about not having it
update. I really would like to try the way slipstick.com talks about (with
WebDAV) but we don't have an IT department (we're nonprofit) so that would be
an added expense that I'm not sure I can justify. Thanks for your help with
this, Diane. It really is appreciated!
