I Liz Many thanks I got the first bit and saw what it was doing - cool But what is the "File-->everyone to see." bit I can't seem to find anything like that Many thanks again DD -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Liz Doering Sent: Saturday, 26 February 2005 1:56 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: RE: [AccessD] A2K: BIT OT - Shared Outlook Calendar Darren, I don't know if this is any help to you, but here goes.... At home (where we are very far from running exchange server), we have constant issues about what is on the family calendar and who 'should have known'. My husband has a habit of putting calendar items in his PDA and expecting that that is magically enough to inform me and our two teen-age daughters about his plans. (He's a paramedic and a teacher, with irregular hours for both, so there was plenty to be tense about.) He sincs his PDA with his Outlook calendar, so his calendar, under his profile, really does have all the information we are supposed to know. I poked around a bit in Outlook, and found that I could point each of our profiles at his .pst file as well. Now when I open Outlook at home, I can see my calendar and calendars in personal folders (his), rather like Exchange Server shows me my calendar and calendars in public folders in the office. File-->Datafile management-->Add, then browse for the .pst you want File-->everyone to see. I did have to do this for each profile, and you might have to tinker with sharing, too. Good luck!

Take a look at http://www.officecalendar.com/index.asp. The literature looks good. We are putting the eval copy on a couple of machines to try it out. For the price it might beat the cost of development. If nothing else the web site will give you some insite into how these folks accomplished this task. They are using .NET as the backbone to link up the outlook installations. If you go the Access route I'd be interested in learning how you do it.

How do I set up Outlook so that People see only a 'group' calendar? So an appointment made using my app on Machine A can be seen by Every other machine, not just Machine A?
