Hi.

I've been searching for this for a while now, and decided that was time with
some expert help.

I work with my sister and we depend much on each other. Comparing calenders
seems to be the biggest problem of all and we forget it most of the time.
Suddenly one of us say "hey, remember that we have a job tomorow" and the
other goes "uhh.. was that tomorrow?! I was supposed to do something
else..". We've tried to play around with MS Outlook's planning functions,
but since there's no direct sharing-capabilities, but rather just a
webpage-upload option, it didn't work for us.

Do any of you know of a free program that makes it possible to access other
persons calender directly using the internet? Or do I have to study boring
books for a year and learn programming myself? :-)

Any suggestion is rewared with a virtual hug :-)

You might look into the calendar add-on for Mozilla browser. You can
subscribe and have workgroup sharing. I use it to update my website's
event calendar.

Thanks for your suggestion.

I looked at it and it seems it only works if you have Mozilla installed. As
I understand the description it works the same way as MS Outlook and uploads
generated webpages. I think of something more slim and easy.
 
Here's how you do it. Go to the Outlook calendar. Click once on the day
you want a meeting or job to appear. Right click the day, and choose
Meeting request. Choose the attendee (your sister). Fill in the To
field (which should be your sister) and the other fields. This will
send an email to your sister.

If she accepts the meeting request, a reply will be sent back to you
and it will fill in the date and time into her calendar. If she
declines, Outlook will send an email back to you also.

This is how you schedule meetings via email, without having to upload
your free/busy info to a website.
