Hello,

My wife and I have MSN premium accounts (through Qwest MSN is our ISP)
and we can both share our MSN calendars and see them online. My wife,
using Outlook 2003 and Outlook Connector can also see my shared MSN
calendar from within Outlook. However, in my Outlook 2007, I don't
have the link/button to "add a calendar" so that I can access her MSN
calendar from Outlook 2007.

Is this not available in Outlook 2007? Or is there some strange
configuration that I have failed to find over the past several weeks
of searching online for a solution to this?

Thank you in advance for any insight that may be offered.

Yes. And confirmed the latest release of Outlook Connector is what I have
installed.

No, was it funny? I was just making sure it was installed since you can
access the msn acct using other methods and those don't include the
calendar.

Did you try the sharing option on the Outlook Connector menu?

Using the Sharing Link on the Outlook Connector menu from our respective
Outlook clients is how we set our msn.com calendars as shared. At that
point, she (in outlook 2003) was able to click on the "Open a Shared
Calendar" link in the sidebar on her calendar view. In my Outlook 2007, I
have no such link/option.

Regarding the "Open a Shared Calendar" link that is visible in Outlook 2003,
but apparently missing in Outlook 2007, it is clearly mentioned on Slide 3,
and you can see a partial screenshot of it in Slide 4 of a Powerpoint
document available from download.microsoft.com with the filename:
SharingOutlook2007Calendars_GS_E.ppt.
