Sharing Outlook 2000 Calendar Files w/o Exchange Server

[Guest_imported]

I have two users on the same win2K pro PC who need to be setup to view the same Outlook calendar w/o an exchange server. Is there any way to do this?

Create a public folder, and create a new calendar in that folder.

The help menu will get you through the process.

I've reviewed the Microsoft Outlook Help entries regarding "sharing outlook calendar files" and all 256 entries listed for for the term "Calendar" and the entries listed for "public folder". I am still confused as to how I can create a single calendar viewable by all users of a single PC.

- How do I point a user's instance of Calendar at a specific directory?
- Is it enough to give two users modify on a folder for them to be able to manipulate the calendar?

BOTH USERS MUST NOW:
