open other users calendar

[Ouch]

in outlook 2000/20002 can you create a shortcut on the shortcut bar to open another other users exchange calendar?

i have given correct permissions and have the automatic links in the file-open- 1 garrys(calendar) which works ok but what i want is a link in the left hand shortcut bar to each of the calendars.

Hi,

Yeah, the way i've done this in the past is:

1. Get Mark to email Paul a link to his calendar.
2. Drag the attached link to your desktop.
3. Drag the link onto the shortcut bar.

You dont seem to be able to drag it directly from the email for some reason, but that should work.

how do i send the calendar as a link?

why can't Mark and Gary share their mailboxes to each other then their calendars and then do tools services, exchange props, advanced and add in each others names?

That puts each others calendars into Outlook...
