1 Outlook / 2 Calendars... 1

[cmpgeek]

is it possible to have 2 seperate calendars within the same outlook program? i am not talking about someone giving me access to their calendar; rather, what i am hoping for is a way to have my regular calendar with my appointments and such on it, and a calendar that i can post vacation requests on. i do the scheduling for the OR, and would much rather have a calendar in Outlook to look on than a handwritten one when it somes to looking for staff numbers months ahead of time (such as when people are asking for time off around the holidays...).

is this possible within Outlook 2000?

and suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

thanks ShannonLea

In Outlook 2002, you do the following:

* From the menu, choose FILE | NEW | FOLDER
* Give the folder a name
* Under FOLDER CONTAINS, chooose CALENDAR ITEMS
* Click OK

I BELIEVE that Outlook 2000 works the same way. You won't be able to see this calendar in Outlook Today but it'll be there and work just the same. Michael

with outlook 2000, all you have to do is right click on your calendar, and copy it to your "outlook today". this will automatically create a calendar called calendar1

the new calendar will inherit all the events from the old one. I'm not sure how you can create a new calendar

actually i just finished doing what mmsbasd posted and it did just what i wanted... the new calendar does not contain anything from the original calendar... im not concerned with it showing up in outlook today - actually, the more i think about it, i dont want it to...

i just want to have a neat concise way to look at how many people are already scheduled for vacation at any particular day/month...

thanks for your suggestion nlm9802

and thanks to mmsbasd - your awesome! ShannonLea
