We have an office network of 10 people. We want everyone's appointments to
appear on each other's calendar so we all know where each other is.
Originally,we setup a shared Group calendar but could not make that the
default calendar in Outlook, so it became confusing & tedious to keep
everybody in the right calendar. We've resorted to individual calendars (the
default calendar) & we invite everyone else in the office to each of our
appointments. This works, but we each have to remember to invited everyone
else and then accept the proposed appointments as they are posted.

There must be an easier way. Any suggestions?

Thanks to both of you for the lead. The Shared Calendar idea works if there
was just a way to make it the default calendar in Outlook. Oh well!
