Sharing Calendar

[Guest]

I see this question have been ask but not yet finish answering. I'm trying
to share a calendar in Outlook 2003 with SP2. The calendar was created and I
added the person to permission part but when trying to access the calandar it
not there. Am I missing a step in this process?

Yes, you missed a step or two. To access a shared folder that isn't one of the folders listed on the File | Open | Other User's Folder dialog, the mailbox owner needs to grant "folder visible" permission to the root of the mailbox and any other parent folders of the shared folder, as well as appropriate permission -- at least Reviewer -- on the shared folder itself.

The user who needs access then goes into Tools | E-mail Accounts or Tools | Services (depending on the Outlook version), brings up the properties for the Exchange Server service, and on the Advanced tab, adds the mailbox.

For more information on folder permissions, with how-to screen shots, see http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/permissions.htm and http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/preview.aspx?AssetID=HA011134811033
