MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / July 2006Viewing other schedules w/o Exchange
All, I am trying Outlook2007 and OneNote2007 for my upcoming teaching year (fifth grade). As a standalone user I will not run Exchange, of course. (Our state adopted Lotus Notes but no one uses any of the advanced features in that system. I just have to use Notes to get my offiicial e-mail and will try to set it up that all mail actually goes out of my Outlook client...) I want to have some of the benefits of schedule overlay, especially for the schedules of my wife and daughter so when the need to schedule after-school meetings with other teachers, admin, etc. I get a quick look at potential conflicts. (I wish we had something like Exchange for the teachers but some just don't want to work with computers.) I know this would probably mean I would have to enter all the info about wife and daughter's calendars. However, could my wife use Outlook on her computer and Anyway, how can I do this without Exchange server? I do have web server space that could be used for this if there is a workaround that would allow my wife to get info in . Have you looked into Small Business Server, available from OEMs with a Windows 2003 server purchase for about $800 with 5 Client Access Licenses? I don't know about the 2007 versions yet but I would presume the offerings would be similar. SBS offers Exchange as well as SharePoint for small families (many are trying it out and finding it works extremely well) and can be configured by your OEM (such as Dell or Gateway) to set up your home network to use the advanced features that SBS offers. Just a thought which you are free to ignore.

Have you tried the "Send My Calendar via E-mail" or "Publish My Calendar" commands on the Calendar navigation pane in Outlook 2007. Both are designed to provide calendar sharing features without Exchange.

Wow, I hunted through the 2007 Help files and tried to use a Outlook2003 book as a guide to know where to look but missed those references. I will check that out. We are not a high-end family scheduling probelm -- only one of us is working and we only have one 12-year-old daughter so I can't see setting up even a "baby" Exchange server, but thanks for the reference, anyway. As a comment on Outlook and OneNote Help files in general, I wish they were more "task" oriented. I know that's more work and more money. I have done that work (write on-line Help) so I have been there. Thanks again for the pointers. I will give feedback on results.
