Hello,

I feel silly asking these things but I've been asked how to do a lot of
things in Outlook that I've never needed to do before and they were less
obvious than I was hoping. We are using Outlook 2003 connected to an
Exchange 2003 server running on Windows 2003.

1. How do you change an outlook view (scheduling a meeting for more than
one person) to side by side vs one on top of the other. For some reason
when they pulled up a second person, it put the day schedule side by side.

2. Why does it show no information - no free busy information could be
retrieved.

3. How do I create an event such as a 6 hour meeting and have it autofind
the first date that that many hours are available between 8-5 without
conflicting with another event?

1 - Multiple calendars are always side-by-side not over/under
2 - Not sure on this one
3 - There's an AutoPick Next button on the scheduling tab of an appointment.
That should do what you want.

Thanks

1 - when she opened up a new event and when to the scheduling, instead of
showing the multiple users on top of eachother which is the default, their
schedules were side by side - not sure how to set it back to the default.

3. I'd like to schedule an event from 8-10, if it doesn't fit in someone's
schedule it finds 2 hours that are free that day and so forth. I want the
event to be from 8-10 on the first day available.

Then you need to scroll through the days until you find one that is
available.
