Yes Brian,

That link did not work for me. I spent nearly an hour there before I found
this discussion thread...

Is there any help you can give me?

How long has it not been working? I know they are messing with the server as
they migrate MSN calendars to it so transient problems are not surprising
but they shouldn't last more than a day or two.

What firewall do you use?

FWIW, my calendar is working so its not a widespread problem - but I could
be hitting a different server that you are.

this discussion thread...

You said at first "there is no way" to reach Microsoft. Now you tell me that
you visited the "Contact Us" web page successfully. I know for a fact that
the phone numbers and the support via e-mail found there both work. So what
you said about "no way" to reach Microsoft can't be true. Sounds more like
"didn't try".

I'm afraid I can't do any better than Diane has done. I don't do much
publishing of my calendar. Microsoft, however, should be able to help. If
it's important enough to you to get your problem solved, you'll contact them.

I am getting the same message. I was able to give access to one person last
week. We wanted to see if it worked, but I now get the error message
whenever I try to upload or give permission to anyone else. I was planning
to contact the people who run the server in my office to see if that's the
problem. I will continue to watch this thread to see if you get any help and
will let you know how I make out.

Well, I spoke to my IT people and it is an internal thing. Because our
webmail server is not constantly connected to Microsoft, I get the server
error message. Apparently, our server intermittantly accesses the Microsoft
server. We use something like a POP3 account?? I don't know if that has
anything to do with it, but my IT people could offer no solution. I guess it
was just a fluke that the first time I tried, it worked. I have no
suggestions for you other than to check if it is a similar situation.

Do you have internet all the time? That's all you need to publish calendars.
It's possible your corporate firewall is blocking access to the microsoft
servers.

We do have internet all the time. I don't know about a firewall, but all
emails must go through our internal webmail server. Disclaimers are added
automatically, that sort of thing. But like the first poster, I get a server
error message when I try to upload the calendar (send - completed, receive -
completed, upload - failed...) and I cannot send an email granting
permission. Again, it gives a server error and the email won't even go. Do
you think I should try the Microsoft help desk?

are you getting the error before the email comes up or after you hit Send?

The process uploads the calendar to the then asks if you want to send an
invite. if you log into the calendar online (office.microsoft.com) do you
see the calendar?

I get this error msg after I hit send. "Error while preparing to send
sharing message. Server returned an error."

As far as seeing the calendar on line, I'm afraid I don't know where to
look, and the one person to whom I gave access hasn't been in for the last
couple of days, so I can't check if he is getting my current calendar. When
I first did it, he was able to bring up my calendar, but it only showed
"busy". I changed that option, but then always got an error when it
uploaded, so as of Wednesday, he was still just seeing busy.
