Hi Susan Thanks for the reply What is Sharepoint? When you say 2003 I assume you mean Outlook 2003? I do have Outlook 2003, but can't find any ref or link to Sharepoint Is it a 3rd Party monster or a new m$ tool?

It is a significant upgrade if you don't already have the necessary components in place. But if all you need is 2003, it might be worth considering. Susan H. Thanks Doug Will keep you posted But it seems we have to be running our email off Exchange Server for this to occur the way I want We will be there, one day, but we ain't yet So....We wait and poke around at the edges.

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?
