Sharing a Calendar

[Jim G]

I have a client who needs to share his calendars with his secretary. I setup
webdav on his apache server using these directions
http://fedoranews.org/mediawiki/index.php/Building_a_Simple_Calendar_Server_with_Fedora_and_WebDAV
I was able to publish his calendar to the server, have his secretary
download and view the calendar, but she got a permission denied when she
tried to edit it. I looked on the Microsoft site and found this page

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA012302491033.aspx

But it tells me to click change sharing permissions and I am not seeing this
option. Is this only for Ms Exchange users? He does not have exchange and
would prefer not to use the microsoft online calendar service. This is
Office 2007.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Jim

I do have Server 2003 that I could setup for this. Not sure he would want to
pay the price for it though. The odd thing about all this is it doesnt work
from Outlook, but I downloaded a program called Mozilla Sunbird, and I was
able to subscribe to the calendar, edit it all with no issues. So I know the
webserver is setup correctly. I guess I will try to convince him to not use
Outlook for his calendar and we may be ok.

Unfortunately the Outlook developers went off at half-cock on this one....I
can't see any advantage in only being able to subscribe to a read-only
calendar - I suppose it's to try to get people to use Exchange server....
