Sharing Calendars in Outlook 2003

[Dot]

We have two calendars; Outlooks original and a created calendar. We would
like to share the created calendar. We followed the steps previously posted
on this site which included checking the "visible folder." However, the
steps on the person wanting to access the calendar appear to not work
correctly. In Outlook we went to Tools/Email Accounts. At this point we do
not have "Services" to bring up properties. Our options are "Email" or
"Directory". We proceded checking "view or change existing email accounts."
It brings up a box "Email Accounts." We clicked on "Change" which brought up
"Exchange Server Settings." At this point we clicked on "More Settings"
which gave us an "Advanced" tab. It gives you the option to add an
additional mailbox. Is there another step we are leaving out. It doesn't
appear to let us access the created calendar. Do we need to do something on
the server itself?

Did you add the additional mailbox? Did you set the parent folders of the created calendar so that they grant the Folder Visible permission to everyone who needs to access that calendar?

Sue,

Yes we did add the additional mailbox and yes we did set the parent folder
to grand folder visible permission.

Exactly where in the folder hierarchy of its mailbox does the created calendar reside? Did you also set Folder Visible on the mailbox root?
