When I open someone else's calendar, I am able to view it. But when I try to
click on a meeting to get more details, I receive the error: "Can't open this
item. unable to open the free/busy information. you do not have sufficient
permission to perform this operation on this object. See the fold er cotnact
or your system administrator." This only happens on a few of the people in my
office. All others I am able to view the details. Is there something that
they have coded that nobody else does?

They have to set access permissions to their calendar - not just add you to
the list of users. Have them go to CALENDAR / SHARE MY CALENDAR /
PERMISSIONS tab - then highlight your name and set the permission levels for
you - i.e., author, editor, etc. The ticked boxes below tell you what each
permission level allows. Once you have a permission level other than NONE,
you should be able to see their calendars. The permission level will
indicate just what you can do - edit or just create, create or just read, etc.

I am not for sure if this can be done, but can you set up a meeting with
details down in the meeting notes but mark those private so nobody can view
the notes but can view the meeting? I don't know if this is a clear
explanation or not. Example:
The Adminstrative Assistant sets up a meeting for the CEO and other staff,
puts information down in the meeting notes. She wants people to be able to
see the meeting on the CEO's calendar, but doesn't want others to be able to
view the meeting details. Can this be done?
Thanks

Sorry - I don't know about that one. I've never attempted it.
