Sharing only one calender.

[msnut]

A user using Outlook 2k3 with Xchange 2003. She has multiple calenders but
she would like to share a calender name Events with another group. With only
the Events calender checked. From share my calender she selected the group
and gave them permission to share. Users from the group are unable to open
the calender using the user name or the calender name (Events). If I delegate
the group then they get access to her personal calender and not Events. If
Events was a sub folder she would have not get the options to share. Correct?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

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.

For more information on folder permissions, with how-to screen shots, see http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/permissions.htm and http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/preview.aspx?AssetID=HA011134811033
