Date Navigator does not allow overlay of public agenda

[giorgio]

The date navigator and appointments on the right side seem to only be able to
show my personal agenda, not the public folder agenda that has all the
important meetings in it. Makes the whole bar useless to me and all
companies/groups that exclusively rely on public folder agendas.

Please do not misuse the suggestion function. If you are having a problem with Outlook, state your Outlook version and the nature of the problem in a regular post, not a suggestion.

If you are using the public preview version of Office 2007 Beta 2, the best way to provide feedback is with the Send a Smile/Frown tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A2E1F4E2-BC0F-4403-B09F-7A677D55F274. This tool will transmit your comments and a screenshot back to Microsoft.

If I understand you correctly, you want the To Do Bar in Outlook 2007 to show information not from your mailbox but from some public folder? Given that Microsoft is phasing out public folders, I would not expect that capability to be added, definitely not at this late stage of the Office 2007 development process. You might want to start looking at tools that can synchronize Exchange public folders with mailbox folders; see http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync.htm#exssync

Sue, my apologies for any etiquette violations - hadn't used these forums
yet. Thanks for the tips - will follow your suggestions.

To clarify: the calendar *view* allows for overlays of other agendas (be
they group/sharepoint/other/whatever - not specifically 'public
folders'-related), so that's why I thought it not being in the todo-bar was a
small, perhaps intentful omission, eligable for a late-breaking change.

So you are talking about Outlook 2007, right?

I'm confused about whether you're concerned about the calendar overlays or the To Do Bar. You didn't mention calendar overlays before. They should work fine with public folders. You just need to drag the folder to Public Folders\Favorites first.
