[AccessD] OT: Outlook Sharing Calendar in 2002

The bottom line seems that it's no longer supported. I really worked well.
My wife, teenage son and I could add and remove items between one calendar
on 3 different remote PCs.

I guess I'll have to take a look at some of the MSN stuff they plan to do in
the future or investigate some other alternative.  What a bummer!

Thanks!

John

Greetings John,

As far as I can determine the feature you are referring to was called
Net Folders and isn't supported in Outlook 2002.  Here's a site with a
good summary of the feature as well as a possible alternative:
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/share.htm#netfolders

After reading your comment, I only just realized that it would be cool
to have my Exchange calendar at work update my home calendar on
Outlook 2000, so please share any solution that you decide upon.

That's the weird thing about Microsoft products; I sometimes don't
realize that I've subconsciously come to believe that things that
aren't supported aren't possible.  Good luck.
