I would like a simple method to use Outlook 2007 (or some inexpensive add-in)
to combine several personal calendars into one display. I have seen the
complex tools in slapstick.com and these are over-kill. I don't need input
from multiple users or resource and task sharing. I just want to combine
multiple, single-use, calendars into a single page (not a side-by-side
display) that combines all entries. It would be nice if I could pick and
choose (via a check box) which calendars were included in the merge. Thank
you.

you just need to view them? outlook 2007's calendars will overlay each
other, so no addin is needed. click the little arrows on the left side of
the tabs to overlay.

As Diane states the overlay is nice in OL2007.
There is also a cool little download from Microsoft (Free)

Calendar Printing Assistant for Outlook 2007:

This may do the trick for you. It will allow you to combine the
calendars into one and print. Provides many templates for choice.

Hi jmlight0,

are you using Exchange Server or only local Outlook installations (PST
files)?

I have two calendars, which I have brought in via PST files. So the
first is in my Calendar (default), the second is in Calendar in
Personal Folders. I have copied or "merged" the appointments/events I
need from the second into the first, such that the first (Calendar) is
all I need. Of course, when I "uncheck" the second it is no longer
displayed. But, I no longer need it in Outlook. I have tried to Delete
the second by right clicking on it, but "Delete" is grayed out. What
other option do I have?

Hi jmlight,

you write:

>Personal Folders.

Sorry but I do not understand this. Were both calendars in the same PST file
or in different PST files?

If they were in different PST files you normally could delete this PST file
also in "File/Datafilemanagement" and here you can delete the PST file which
is not the default delivery folder.

If you open "File/Datafilemanagement" how many "PST" files do you see here?

Could you delete the "other" calendar (theoretical) or is this also greyed
out?

We are using Exchange Server. Actually, Diane's idea of using the tab
combine feature seems to do what we needed. Thanks to all.
