Ways to view resource calendar?

[Guest]

Hi,

I've recently created a meeting room resource using
Outlook 2002 and Exchange 5.5. Is there an easy way to
publish the calendar view for this resource so that
everybody can see it instead of having to look up the
resources availability on the scheduling tab of a new
appointment?

To accomplish this you would need to give users permission to the Calendar
so they can view it by going to File -> Open -> Other Users's Folder. Or
another anlternative is to create a calendar in the Public Folder Tree,
grant people the appropriate permission, however, you lose the resource
scheduling functionality.

I just remembered that people need Author access to "book a meeting" on a
calender anyway, so if they can successfully book a meeting, then they can
go to File -Open - Other Users Folder to view the availability.

Thanks for the post.
Thought that might be the case.
I was hoping there would be some way to combine a public
folder view plus the resoure scheduling.
