Wow - that was short and not too sweet. It is Outlook 2003. I don't know
the platform. I don't even know what a platform is. I guess this was a bad
idea to ask in this forum. Not being a techie pretty much puts you out of
the realm. I won't go this route again. That sort of answer is precisely
why people like me do not ask questions about programs and do not go to
support. And how bout you use some manners? Sorry to bother you.

Sharing a calendar is a fairly technical operation in most versions of Outlook and has some rather strict prerequisites. What Judy was trying to find out is whether you meet those prerequisites -- specifically whether you use Microsoft Exchange as your mail server. That's your "platform." If you are not using Exchange and not using Outlook 2007, then your version of Outlook gives you no way to share calendars with others. You can look in Tools | E-mail Accounts to see what kind of mail accounts you're using.
It might also be useful to remember that everyone answering questions here is a volunteer. Also, in almost every case, the version of Outlook, mail account configuration, and other information is needed to provide a complete and helpful answer. Therefore, you can expect to be asked to provide more information. Furthermore, it is not possible to read minds to know the exact best way to phrase a question for a particular individual, especially as there are people from all over the world asking and answering questions. Rather than bite the hand that's trying to feed you information, you can simply ask for clarification. I've assumed that's what you really meant to do and provided that above, with a specific next step for you to follow.

Thanks for the info. Again, I think the reply I got would be considered rude
and condescending in any language. Volunteer or not - some e-mail etiquette
could be assumed. Again, call it "biting the hand that feeds you", but I
will not go this route again and probably most neophites would retreat with
the same responses. Thank you for the information. Again, sorry to bother you
and I have asked to be removed from this venue.

I said PLEASE.
I gave an example of what a platform is.
Short yes - I have some time to give. Not lots of time to chase basic data
back and forth. There are times when I come into the newsgroup and quickly
answer a few queries or ask a few questions so that I or someone else can
provide some help.
I am sorry to have irritated you so much.
