Opening other users seconday calendar

[Stephen M]

I have an Exchange 2003 server.... most of our users use Outlook 2003 as a
client.

To view another person's calendar on Outlook2003, we would normally do:
File|Open|Other user's folder... select the user name and folder type:
"calendar"

(assuming the owner of the mailbox has granted rights to that folder)

If a user creates a new calendar to be shared (e.g., 'othercalendar') how
can another user view that calendar in outlook2003?
The "Other user's folder" dialogue only provides a drop-down list of the
standard folders.

Thanks,

Steve

To access a shared folder that isn't one of the folders listed on the File | Open | Other User's Folder dialog, the mailbox owner needs to grant "folder visible" permission to the root of the mailbox and any other parent folders of the shared folder, as well as appropriate permission -- at least Reviewer -- on the shared folder itself.

The user who needs access then goes into Tools | E-mail Accounts or Tools | Services (depending on the Outlook version), brings up the properties for the Exchange Server service, and on the Advanced tab, adds the mailbox.
