Hi - I have spent alot of time browsing instructions from MS and posts on
this question. Simply put I have yet to find a way for someone else to
add/edit a shared calendar if one does NOT have Exchange and has Outlook
2007. This is frustrating as I need to add/edit my own Calendar across 3
email profiles and thought this was the way to do it. Thought? Thanx...
 
You are sharing it with office online? not possible to edit it with other
accounts. If you use windows xp and use the same acct logon for each
computer, the method at

Once you have a calender published to the web how do you give a person access
to add appt. to your calender?
My office uses outlook a lot, we just recently started using 07 and can not
figure out how to set it up to be able to add appt. to other calenders.
 
How do you give someone permission to "add" to your calender once you have
published it? This is for Microsoft Office 2007.

You can't. that's the one HUGE failing of this Outlook function....
However there may be other possibilities. Where is the person that you want
to be able to add to this calendar physically located compared to you?
 
In the office right next to me.

Then basically you're out of luck. All you can do is to get your colleague
to publish THEIR calendar as well, and you both subscribe to each other's
read-only calendar.

Calendars published to the Internet are read-only.
 
I can't get into the office to share the boss' calendar to his assistant, can
I do on the Exchange Server?
 
Hi Diane,

Chico here, I just want to clarify - Outlook Calendar 2007 - We have placed
a shared calendar online and would like 6 people to access and make changes
on it. If we do not have exchange and I do not have a permission screen - we
are unable to do this?

What am I looking for when I look for the computer with the permissions? I
created the calendar in my 2007 calendar and published it - did I do
something wrong and need to start again??

Thanks,
Chico
 
You didn't do anything wrong - the published calendars are read only. Do you
have your own web server or do you have to use office online? If you have
your own server, where you can install software, you could use an asp-based
service that allows people to create appointment requests or even one that
allows them to create eventso n the calendar and syncs back to outlook. I
don't know what exists in this area or if you'd need to have a web developer
write it for you.

It is possible:

You can publish your default Office Outlook 2007 Calendar to Office
Online
and control who can access your calendar on Office Online. Calendars
published to Office Online are searchable, which helps other Office
Online
users find calendars of interest. Publishing an Internet Calendar
requires
neither the publisher nor the user to use an Exchange account. For more
information, see Share your calendar on Office Online.

Tip If you have access to a Web server that supports the World Wide
Web
Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol, you can choose to
publish calendars to that server instead. However, publishing to Office
Online provides improved control over who can access your calendar. For
more
information, see Share your calendar on a Web server.

No.














No we do not use an exchange server - is this possible without one?

:

Do you use exchange server? (It's an exchange feature) if so, make
sure
exchange extensions are enabled - tools, trust center, addins if
using
Outlook 2007. Toosl, options, other in older versions.
















I am having trouble trying to configure this as well - I cant seem
to
find
the permissions aree

:

Only the Europeans have agendas - the rest of us have calendars.

Right
click on the calendar and choose properties. Go to permissions
tab and
click
Add to select the person you want to share with.

I have Outlook 2007 and don't find agenda. How do I do this in
Outlook
2007

:

Hello James,

you have to rigth click on the agenda in Outlook 2003 and
choose
the
"share"
option in the menu that appears.
Then you have to add people who must be able to add/remove
things
in
you're
agenda.
There are a couple of options for rigths that those people get
on
you're
sared agenda, like publishers, authors etc.

For Outlook 2007: Go to the File dropdown menu, choose Folder, then
'Properties for Calendar', then Permissions tab. There you can add users and
give them whatever privileges you require (Reviewer, Contributor, etc.)
 
I knew how to do this in 2003 but I can't figure out how to do it in 2007. I
need my people to be able to schedule appointments on my calendar and to be
able to change their own appointments if they need to do so. Thanks for any
help!
