Hi all,
I'm trying to setup a shared calendar in Outlook 2003 and i was wondering if anyone would could give me some advise?
I have found many bits of 3rd party software that you install on each machine, but is that the best route to go down?
Cheers all
Darren

without exchange , you really dont use outlook to its fullest potential.
do you all have pop3 accoutns or somethign ?
its not as expensive as you'd think ( dependiong on the number of staff you have )
Hi,
Well we have around 15-20 people on PC's. The rest are all on Mac's.
Yes we are using a pop 3 server, via Mandrake Linux.
Ah throwing MAC's in to the bundle doesn't help.
earlier versions of outlook supported a rudementry calender sharing which was officially horrible.
Its one of the features that exchange does pretty well.
I'm guessing that your budget woudn't streach to SBS + enough calls for 20 people ( would be between a grand and £1500 for software , and you'd need somethign to run it on.
all however isn't lost , have you thought about a shared calender application such as sunbird ?

if you have mod_dav installed on your linux server you can use it to publish and share your Mozilla Calender ( sunbird )
I'm sure this woudl work for the mac guys too !

We use a database called Filemaker. From what i now understand if i get the Filemaker plugin then i'll be able to publish my calendar.Quote:

Don't forget if you can afford exchange then the mac's have Microsoft Entourage which also gives full Outlook connectivity, ie shared calendars, address books etc etc
