    Hi,

I have a set of calendars within a public folder which people add
entries into.  These entries can sometimes conflict.  Is there a way
of telling O2k3 that they should not conflict with each other - if
someone has booked first then tuff titty?

Thanks.
Andrew.

I was more looking for a way to do it in Outlook, or to perhaps
implement the calendars better?  These are meeting room bookings, and
am using public folders currently.  I had a look on the site, but
currently want to restrict to using just Outlook with a backend
Exchange or have a simple script that does it.

Thanks.
Andrew.

I'm not an Exchange admin, but my understanding is that if you make the
meeting rooms resources, and give them their own mailboxes in Exchange, that
when you schedule a meeting and "invite" the room to the meeting that
conflicts will be handled.  See if this helps:
