Calendar question?

Is there a way to tell who posted something on a shared calendar? I have a
manager here who wants to see who posted a particular post on their shared
calendar. Can it be done? Is there a way to trace it to the orginal poster?

Thanks in advance.

Display the calendar By Category or any other list view. Right-click on the
header line and choose Field Chooser. Select "All Appointment Fields" in
the top drop-down and drag the Organizer field to the header line. That
column should show you who created the entry.
 
Do you have to be in that particular mailbox to get the results or can I get
to it from my mailbox even if its on a neutral shared calendar?

You can to this on any calendar that you can see within your Outlook client,
I would imagine.
 
Brian,

It has worked but I have another question concerning this issue. When I add
the organizer field it shows the shared calendar as the person who created
the event instead of the actually person who did. Prior to us installing
Outlook 2003 it looks as though the individual who created an event, their
name would show up as the organizer, but since 2003 has been installed it
shows the shared calendar as creating the event. Is there a way to change it
back to the individual instead of the shared calendar for posting events?

It's not a configurable option, as far as I know. Outlook is just showing
you what's in the Organizer field. When I look at public Calendars with OL
2003, the Organizer field does show the creator of the entry.
 
hmmm, in ours it only shows the name of the mailbox(in the FROM column) where
the event was created. If I go back prior to when we installed 2003, it
shows individual users who posted an event in any given shared calendar. I
believe when we upgraded to 2003 it somehow changed how events are posted on
shared calendars. Maybe a permission? Maybe how the calendars were added to
users mailboxs? Who knows?
