Calendar Sharing

[Guest]

I have a small law office and need to keep a common calendar for my client
appointments. I have Microsoft Office 2003 and Windows XP Pro on all 5
computers. However I am using Scheduler 97 on all computers for my
calendaring and it works just fine. However, I want to use Outlook and
cannot share my calendar using Outlook. I need for all of my staff to be able
to simultaneous access to the same calendar and make and edit appointments
for me from any workstation. I see third party programs are available to
accomplish this without purchasing Exchange Server. Can I purchase some
version of Office 2007 and Vitsa so I can use Outlook to do this? Or is the
only way to do this is to purchase Exchange Server or a third party program?
I do not need e-mail access for my staff, just calendaring.

You need some kind of back-end that will make the calendar available between
systems. See if something here helps:
