Setting up a shared calendar in Outlook 2002

Help...The shared calendar in our Corel Suite is unbelievably clunky, crashes nonstop, and is slower than molasses. We are a three-man law office. We like having a shared calendar, but not this way. We either buy a new program or use existing Microsoft solutions.

Can somebody give me a step-by-step, kindergarten-style set of instructions on how to set up a shared calendar for our office? We have a file server on which data is stored, although our individual computers also have hard drives. It might be nice to have individual calendars, too, if posting to a shared calendar can be made automatic. The instructions for Outlook seem to anticipate that you already know what you are doing. My brother is in IT, but tries not to use Microsoft, so he is little help (and he lost me on the first question).
 
You might want to start here and then post back if you have specific

What is a "public folder?" How do I create a group?

Public folders are used in an Exchange server environment. Exchange server
would be overkill for a very small office like yours, and it's not cheap
either, so concentrate on the non-Exchange solutions offered on the page I
sent you to earlier. As far as groups go, I might be able to help you more
if you tell me what version of Outlook you are using in your office.
