I have created a secondary calendar, below my primary calendar, and clicked
on the properties and added the names of folks to view the calender. When I
go to their machines, they calendar cannot be found. I click on "view shared
calendar" and the name of the calendar is not on the global list. I only
want them to see the shared, secondary, calendar, not my primary one.

We are on an exchange server.

Thanks in advance for your help.

To allow access to a shared folder that isn't one of the folders listed on
the File | Open | Other User's Folder dialog, the Exchange mailbox owner
needs to grant "folder visible" permission to the root of the mailbox and
any other parent folders of the shared folder, as well as appropriate
permission -- at least Reviewer -- on the shared folder itself.

The user who needs access then goes into Tools | E-mail Accounts or Tools |
Services (depending on the Outlook version), brings up the properties for
the Exchange Server service, and on the Advanced tab, adds the mailbox.

For more information on folder permissions, with how-to screen shots, see
