Team calendars

[Mark W]

Hello:

Our company used to use OL 2000 with Exchange 2000 and has recently starting
to update client machines to OL 2003 with our Exchange 2003 server. We used
to use an OL 2000 feature using a file called TEAMCAL.HTM. It would allow a
group setup for other employees calendars. For example, I could create a
group Programmers, specify the item is calendar items, and then I could
specify to add members to the "team". In doing so, it would read the
employees' Exchange calendars. Once completed, there was a combined Team
Calendar view, showing all appoints in one view, as well as the ability to
view each member's calendar with one click of the mouse. In OL 2003, it
seems you have to do two clicks to view just one person's calendar -- one to
turn on the 2nd employee's calendar, and one click to turn off the first
employee's calendar. I am wondering if there is a way to use this grouping
option with OL 2003's calendar option. Any help will be appreciated. Thank
you.

The function is called Group Schedules. It's a tiny button in the toolbar
to the left of the Today button.

Set up as many groups as you like and see them in 2 clicks.

Hello Judy:

Thank you for the info.

Is there a way to view the Group Schedules like my calendar's view? Meaning
having the choices for 1 day, 5 days, 7 days, one month, and the times go
from top to bottom? This was the way the Team Calendar was displayed in OL
2000.

Thank you for your help.

Nope. MS made Group Schedule quite inflexible. There are many add-ins.
