After adding information to my Outlook calendar, I tried to rename the
calendar. The program would not allow me to. However, it would allow me to
rename a calendar from my higher headquarters which is in the shared folders.

You can't rename the default calendar folder, in other words, the one that's in the same information store as your default Inbox.

Thank you. I figured out that I needed to copy the calendar to a new folder
and rename it there. Then I went back and changed the view to "by catagory";
did a "select all", and copied/pasted it to the new calendar. Thank you
again.
