Need to open a public calendar (Office Calendar - not a user's calendar that is shared)

[debnla]

I have searched and searched newsgroups but there is nothing about
this. I am trying to setup a user to see our company's public
calendar. This is NOT a calender found by opening someone's shared
calendar via finding the person in the global address book. We have
an Exchange server 2003 and I think this calendar was created there
not in Outlook? I have this calendar in my Outlook folder under
"Other Calendars" I already right clicked it and gave the new user
rights to see it and edit it, but how do I add it to her Outlook?
This calendar is NOT my calendar that I created.

Normally when you find a shared calendar, Outlook goes right to the
address book so you can find a shared calendar that someone made but
the one I'm looking for is not found here. How can I tell where to
find this calendar?

I looked in properties of this calendar but it doesnt tell me where it
is or who's account it is attached to. The name of the calendar is
"office calendar" - if it was a user's shared calendar it would show
the user's name on the calendar. So I'm confused as to how I can have
another user see this.

Thanks in advance for any help.

It's probably an Exchange Public Folder. Go to the Folder List (Try
pressing CTRL+6) and at the bottom you should see Public Folders. Expand
that, then Expand All Public Folders. See if you find the calendar there
and can open it. Once you open it I *think* it will appear on their
Calendar page the way it does on yours.

I tried this . Under Public Folders, there is favorites and All
Public Folders. I open All Public Folders and there is only a folder
called Internet Newsgroups. Is there a way to manually add it by file/
open?

Do you have a SharePoint server by any chance?

No I do not have a Share Point server that I know of.

Yesterday, I actually looked at the Directory and saw a user called
"office calendar". Do you think this is this how the former IT guy
did it? Just create a user called "office calendar" log on as this
user and create a calendar and share it? If so, I would have thought
that Exchange is more sophisticated than that. It is sort of a waste
to create a user ID in the directory for the sole purpose of making a
shared calendar. This can't be the correct way to do this is it?

Yes, that is perhaps how he did it. And no, that really isn't the best way
to do it in my opinion. I'd have done it as a Public Folder, personally.
