Is it possible to have a shared calendar without an exchange server?
Basically I want to be able to share information with my company and
have people check it, update it, etc. Everyone here uses Outlook so I
would like to be able to share the calendar from Outlook.

Thanks,

paulbrog,

The most effective way is to use an Exchange server. If your company
doesn't have one you can consider using Hosted Exchange. I use The
Message Center because they are inexpensive and have great support.

A workaround for you is to set up a separate mailbox and give everyone
the login credentials for the account so they can log in and
view/update the calendar. They just won't be able to see it through
their own calendar.

I'm sure that there are 3rd party applications that you can purchase
that can allow sharing a calendar.

Good Luck!

Thanks, the final solution seemed ok to me, but did not meet the
criteria of the boss, what is Sharepoint? Would that provide a shared
calendar service? Does it require a server also, and I forgot to
mention we are running on Outlook 2003.

Thanks again,
