Outlook Message: no (alternate) calendar available

[Yossi Mandel]

I am trying to set an alternate calendar in Outlook. The area that is
normally a box to tick off for alternate calendars is greyed out, and instead
of two boxes with options I get one box - greyed out - that says "no
calendars available". Any ideas on how to fix this?

Version of Outlook? Did it come in a suite?

Outlook 2002, (10.XXetc.) SP3, seems to be standalone, part of a company-wide
license (and IT can't figure this out either).

Some features aren't available in standalone versions but I don't think this
is one of those features. Unfortunately, I don't have a standalone copy of
2002 to test - only 2007 and it is available in 2007.

Is it disabled for everyone? Do they use group policy to control features
and settings?

We are looking into it based on versions - it seems Outlook 2003 (as part of
Office) does not have this issue, and those in the company with 2003 can
enable alternate calendars. Only those with Outlook 2002 have this greyed. We
do have group policy for Outlook in general, but we don't think there is
separate policy for 2002 users vs 2003 users, and that is what we are looking
into. We may just have to call Microsoft on this one, if no one else has been
able to fix it. I found the questions posed elsewhere online, but no answer
given.
