Sharing Calendars in Outlook 2003

I am attempting to share calendars within Outlook 2003. I have a situation
where I do not want to share the "defualt" calendar, but yet a subfolder
calendar. I have set my permissions up correctly, but the receiving end get
the error message "Unable to display the folder. The Calendar folder could
not be found."

If I redo it and attempt to share the default calendar it works, but that is
in fact what I do not want to do. I want to be able to share the other
calendars I have created. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
To allow access to a shared folder that isn't one of the folders listed on
the File | Open | Other User's Folder dialog, the Exchange 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.

Ok, I have made a little more headway. On my calendar I have the permission
levels set for the other user... on the default calendar (which I don't want
shared) I added him and kept his permissions as "none" but made it "folder
visible" and on the subfolder calendar (that I do want shared) I have added
his permissions as "reveiwer". But on his side when he goes to open the
shared calendars he can now get into my name, but yet its a blank calendar,
which I am making the assumption that that is because I gave him permissions
of 'visible folders' on the default calendar. but now my question is how am I
able for him to just see the subfolder calendar? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks!
