Multiple Calendars

[Syb H]

I have three Outlook Calendars that I maintain in Outlook 2003. One is
personal that is on my computer. The other two are on the server that the
entire office has access to; one for appointments in/out of the office and
the other is a drafting schedule. I can add holidays to my personal
calendar, but when I want to add holidays to the other two it tells me that I
already have the holidays added and if I would like to install them again.
When I do, they just get added to my personal calendar. Also noticed that
when I change the start of the week date from Sunday to Monday on the
drafting calendar it changes all three to that setting. I have their
labeling set up different and that works fine. Is there something I can do
so these three calendars act independently?

View your personal calendar in the By Category view, select all the entries
in the Holidays category and Ctrl-click and drag that selection to one of
the other calendars to transfer the holidays to that other calendar.

Also noticed that when I change the start of the
week date from Sunday to Monday on the drafting calendar it changes
all three to that setting. I have their labeling set up different
and that works fine. Is there something I can do so these three
calendars act independently?

The options in Tools>Options>Calendar Options apply to all calendars
simultaneously, I believe.

If the calendars are all in one windows profile, they will use the same
general settings.
