[dba-Tech] Outlook multiuser

Hi Steve
I'd say installing Windows server plus Exchange 'just' to handle a
calendar-type need is a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Which is not to say I
know what you should use, I'd just look for something simpler first.

By the way, was your town named after a passing car siren? What a great
name.

> My wife, Janet, and I have been using Day-Timer software for about 6 or 7
years to handle appointments, phone book, notes, and to-do lists. It's
principle attraction for us was that a multi-user version was pretty
inexpensive. The Day-Timer company stopped supporting the product about 5
years ago, but we've gotten along. I even use it to update my Palm M-100.
The best thing is that Janet's appointments and mine appear on the same
calendar without having to go into some kind of collaboration function.

limping along. It still uses some 16-bit underpinnings in some way. What I'd
like to know is what do I have to do to set up a multi-user
calendar/to-do/phone book in, say, Outlook? Does it involve installing
Windows Server. I can manage that with my ISV Empower subscription. I
presume that Windows Server implies Microsoft Exchange, or whatever. I
really haven't looked at this type of thing -- multi-user calendaring --
since we bought Day-Timer, so I'm a bit behind the times.
