Custom Outlook Views

I have created a user (userA) who's calendar is shared to everyone in
the company. While logged into userA's mailbox, I have created several
customized views for its calendar. Is there anyway I can make these
views available to other users in the company? Ideally when they open
userA's shared calendar, they would be able to choose between the
custom views I've previously defined.

I use Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2003.

Ok. I've figured out how to setup the views properly, however, it's not
quite working the way I would expect. If I'm logged in and switch to my
Calendar view in Outlook and then select userA's calendar and deselect
mine, none of the custom views are available. If I leave userA's
calendar selected and mine unselected and switch back to my Mail view
and then go back to my Calendar view, userA's calendar opens by default
and I can select the custom views.

Is this the only way of seeing those custom views?

You need (a) to have owner access to userA's calendar and (b) to create the views with the scope "on this folder visible to everyone."

I created the views as userA and did create the views with the proper
scope. My current issue is that while the views are now available, the
only means of accessing said views that I've found is cumbersome at
best. Are there any alternatives?
