MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / July 2007Can a Contacts/Activities Cross-Ref be made to work with Hybrid Master Calendar
hosted exchange client Because of <Clients> heavy use of Master Calendar (and Outlook's inability to handle the large volume of changes in a public calendar) we created an actual email account called Master Calendar and <Client> is now using that for it's many appointments to share between 10 email accounts. Works perfectly. But when you drill to a Contact associated with an Appointment, then open that Contact's record and check its related Activities tab, there is a choice for Master Calendar but not one for the new Master Calendar. Is there a way to replace that functionality that they were able to use before with the original built-in Master Calendar? Make sense? Thanks It's unlikely that you'll be able to get that to work. Each mail client would need to open the Master Calendar as a secondary mailbox in their Outlook profile. And you'd need to have a new Activities group on each contacts folder that points to the Master Calendar calendar folder.

That's what I've been trying to tell them. Are there any other solutions for this? What's the standard for sharing a master calendar? Feel free to simply insert a link if you have one.

I think you're looking for the answer to a different question: The standard solution for sharing activity information across multiple users is to employ a CRM application.

That makes sense. And i believe the same answer applies to the following. I was asked to pose this question/thought. To keep matters simple, let me identify that there is a Master Calendar - the default one built in - and then there is the user we created called "LEB Master Calendar". Because the default Master Calendar cannot handle their use of it, we created LEB Master Calendar as a user, and now everyone opens the user LEB Master Calendar's Calendar and uses it as a group "Master Calendar". Given that clarification, everyone already opens the LEB "Master Calendar as a secondary mailbox in their Outlook profile". So the only thing we would need then is to know how to create "...a new Activities group on each contact's folder that points to the Master Calendar calendar folder" to see if there were some feasible way to do this easily on a case-by-case basis or to somehow do it for all Contacts.
