Sharing Outlook Calanders

[James]

Ok, here is what I want to do.
Create about 7 or 8 shared calanders, give access to them to about 10
people, and set it up so people can go to their calander on outlook and open
the shared calanders.

But when I create the 7 shared calanders all under 1 email account, I then
can't open them on any other users. It just lets me open their default
calander, not the extra ones I created.

How do I go about doing this?

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.
