Does anyone have any suggestions on how to use outlook 2003 to manage
employees sick timme and vacation? If outllok can't handle this, does anyone
know a good program that does?

TIA

Manage it meaning keep track of it? Outlook wouldn't be an especially good
choice for that though there might be some third-party add-ins that help.
You probably need human resources software for that.

We use a public calendar for this purpose. Each person updates the calendar
for vacation time. If they call in sick, the Service Desk updates the
calendar to show them out. Each morning, a script runs which reads the
contents of that calendar and sends a mail message containing the day's
"missing" to whomever is interested.
