Sharing a calendar to exchange server

this local computer has an outlook (pst) file that houses lots of contact &
calendar data.

I launch the mail applet in the control panel and add the exchange server -- no
problem.

However, I can't (there isn't the option) share the calendar.

If I create a new user on the machine, and use the exchange server, I can share
the new calendar.

How can I get the exchange server to "see" the original calendar & share it?

Thank you.

In addition to Russ' reply - keep everything you care about in the Exchange
mailbox, not in a PST file.

You can't share a folder that's in a PST file.

OK -- so a Calendar is a folder.
How can I import the folder (calendar) into a new whatever so that I can share
the calendar ?

Thanks

Yes, you can open the PST using the File menu > Open > Outlok Data File then
copy (drag/drop) the data out of the Calendar in the PST into the Calendar
folder of your new mailbox

Thanks -- not sure how it got into what it wasn't supposed to be --
but ; the question remains -- how do I get it into whatever it should
be in?

Open the PST with File>Open>Outlook Data File. This will add it to your
mail profile so that it appears in the folder list. Open the calendar in
that PST by selecting it. Change the view to a table view like By Category.
Select all the entries with CTRL-A. Click Edit>Copy to Folder and specify
the Exchange calendar as the destination. Click OK.
