Multiple calendars not linked to primary calendar

L

LisaA

Hi. I'm new to this so please be patient with me. I have my primary
calendar with my personal work committments/tasks but wish to set up a new
calendar to be sent out to all our employees with the work program for each
day. I can set up the new calendar but the only problem is that it
automatically copies everything from my personal/primary calendar. How do I
stop them from seeing this - I'm sure they don't really care what my workload
is each day! Also - whenever I delete the task in the new calendar which has
come across from my primary calendar it deletes the original entry as well.
Any help would be much appreciated.

How are you setting it up? The calendars should be totally separate and
nothing should be linked.

It shouldn't be copying anything from your personal calendar. if you are
doing the copying, use a category to mark the ones to be copied so they are
easier to identify.

I'm not intentionally copying anything. All I do is set up a new calendar
and all the tasks etc are already there! Is there somewhere I should be
clicking to stop this from happening? Or is there another way to set up a
calendar?

It sounds like you are doing it correctly, but there is no way for it to
populate with existing data automatically. Are you sure you are looking at
the correct folder? Go to folder list (Ctrl+6) to verify.

Hi Diane

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had the correct folder so I decided to
investigate further. I ran an 'Office Diagnositcs' test which found 3 errors
& fixed them up. I've done a new calendar and so far so good - none of my
personal entries have been carried over.

Thank you so much for your time - absolutely massive help knowing that my
computer was doing something special!
