I need to share my calendar with a mac user. Can it be done with an using an
exchanger server?
 
Yes, it can be done using an Exchange server but there are software
requirements for doing so. You don't tell us what versions of Office you
are using nor what your co-worker is using, nor the version of Exchange.
So, I guess the correct answer is, perhaps.

Hi Milly...I am using Microsoft Outlook 2003 and Windows XP...I understand
using an exchange server is costly...right now I have a pop3 IP account and
trying to figure out a way to share my Microsoft Outlook calendar with a
person I work with who has a mac. simply put..I want to type an event in the
calendar and this person can go online and look up the calendar and see
it...I don't care if he can add to the calendar or not, but it would be
helpful if he could. I'm trying to do this the least costly way. I see that
I can get an online calendar with Yahoo, but why should I have to do that if
I am already using Microsoft for my email, calendar, contacts etc. thanks...

Not without Exchange.

You can simply invite the Mac user and have the Mac user invite you to all
appointments/events but you cannot share without Exchange 2000 or later,
Office 2000 or later, and Office X or later for the Mac.

Couldnt you do it the other way? Get the mac user to create a calendar in
iCal and publish it either on .Mac or a server. You should then be able to
subscribe to it and share the info.
 
Outlook 2003 and earlier versons don't support iCalendar subscriptions, nor exporting to a bulk iCal file, only importing.
