MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / February 2008Sharing Online calendar
1. I tried to share an online calendar created in Outlook 2007 with my colleagues. Some can incorporate the online cal into their outlook 2007, some cannot and one outlook 2003 user cannot open the calendar via web browser. 2. I also tried to subscribe to another online calendar sent by my boss but error message was "The Windows Live ID that you signed in with is not authorized to view this calendar...." The Live ID uses a different email address from our office email address. What happened? regards - kevin > 1. I tried to share an online calendar created in Outlook 2007 with my > colleagues.

You would be better off sharing on a shared network folder as in this article: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/publishcal.htm Hi Gordon, the whole idea of sharing an online calendar is that we can access our schedules off site. Going on a shared network folder defeats the purpose as we need extensive and expensive hardware to allow off site access to our internal network. regards, still hanging on to hope.... > > 1.

What's expensive about VPN, like most other organisations use? > Hi Gordon, > > the whole idea of sharing an online calendar is that we can access our > schedules off site. Ah. you didn't mention that in your OP. having used the Office Online Calendar sharing, I find it flaky, and it does NOT (AFAICS) allow sharing of tasks. I think your best solution would be to set up a server to which your users can VPN and share calendars there. I take it you're in US i.e. outside of Malaysia....you have no idea how expensive VPNs are locally, no thanks to the currency exchange rates. Anyway, the other alternative would be to use Google or Yahoo calendar to test out our requirements. thansk for the assist. regards, > > Hi Gordon, > > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > I think your best solution would be to set up a server to which your users > can VPN and share calendars there. >I take it you're in US i.e. outside of Malaysia....you have no idea how > expensive VPNs are locally, no thanks to the currency exchange rates. > Anyway, the other alternative would be to use Google or Yahoo calendar to > test out our requirements. VPN uses an ordinary internet connection......is connecting to the Internet very expensive in Malaysia? (And I'm in the UK not USA)..... One more thing: I also received this notice in the calendar's email to my office email address: "This calendar is shared with restricted permissions. To preview or subscribe to this calendar, you need to enroll the e-mail address to which this e-mail message was sent with a Windows Live ID™ account." How do I enroll my office email address to my existing Live ID account? regards, > 1. I tried to share an online calendar created in Outlook 2007 with my > colleagues.

You need to use their live id, not the office address, when you share.
