I now have a combination of Outlook 2000 and 2003 on my home LAN. I want to
share calendar's on the home LAN. All home pc's have their own unique
internet mail address and use Internet Connection Sharing on a dial-up as
well as being connected both hard wire and wireless in the home.

Thanks

Outlook can't share its files directly. See
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011477571033.aspx for an
article by Outlook MVP Eric Legault on various ways to share Outlook data.
YOu'll also find a list of third-party sharing tools and other information
at http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/share.htm.

You need 3rd party software to do this without an exchange server.

Give this a try:

Thank you Sue and Blah...

I have gone to the links you provided and scanned several of the software
options. I'll go back when time permits and spend some time with each one.

I'm a little price sensative on the commercial products and spending another
$150.00+ for bolt-on software to share our family's calendars, but I might.
It seems that somewhere in the reading there was mention that MS will be
adding this sharing feature back in the next Outlook release. I'm going to
look formore information on that as well.

Thank you both for sharing your time and knowledge.

Rumors of Microsoft putting sharing back in via a net folders solution are
vastly overrated and false.

The removal of the calendar sharing is probably one of the most detrimentally
noticable things that I have found in the new Office XP/2003. Previously, I
was able to send a link home, or to my spouse, and they could see and even
interact with my calendar...now, due to security issues, it has been removed.

How could this feature be requested to Microsoft, to be added back in?
Surely, there is a way that a pre-prompt could be added to an e-mail, asking
first if you would like to accept the sender's calendar updates prior to
synchronization...allowing for continued security.
