Using Multiple Calendars in Outlook

John N - 28 Sep 2004 00:22 GMT I understand that in Outlook 2003, you can view calendars side by side in your view pane.
I do not have Outlook 2003, but I have Outlook 2000.
Does anyone know if that feature of viewing calendars side by side also exists in Outlook 2000, or was than one of the enhancements for 2003?
Thanks
Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook] - 28 Sep 2004 01:53 GMT In earlier versions, you can view multiple calendars side-by-side by opening them in separate windows. They will not, of course, scroll together as they do in OL2003.

Thanks for your reply.
Is there an upgrade from OL2000 to OL2003 where OL2003 gets installed right over OL2000? Or, do you have to uninstall OL2000 and then install OL2003?
Thanks
John

Thanks again,
Also, two more questions:
1) What are the steps you need to take to get two (or more) calendars to view side by side?
2) Is there a way to have the two (or more) calendars that are in the view, also print side by side? If so, how do you do that?
Thanks,
John

Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook] - 28 Sep 2004 14:47 GMT 1) In the Calendar navigation pane, you'll see checkboxes for calendar folders in .pst files, your mailbox, and Public Folders\Favorites, plus a command to open another user's folder.
2) No.

Thanks for all your help thus far. Now more questions:
We are on a network, and so for example, on my personal computer, I want my own calendar, and then I want to also veiw beside it one of the network shared calendars.
Is this possible, and if so how?
Also, I assume then that if you can view a shared calendar next to my personal calendar, that you could view more than one networked shared calendar?
Thanks again,
John

Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook] - 28 Sep 2004 18:24 GMT What do you mean by "network shared calendars"? Outlook can display calendars from Exchange public folders, other Exchange users' mailboxes, or Windows SharePoint Services events lists.

I was wanting to know if you can display in the view the personal calendar along side the one that is shared.
Thanks,
John

Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook] - 28 Sep 2004 20:56 GMT If the calendar is visible in your Folder List, you should be able display it side-by-side with your other calendars. I have no idea, of course, what kind of shared calendar you might have in mind, since Outlook doesn't support any such thing on a peer-to-peer network without other software.

I continue to appreciate your replies. Thanks for all your help thus far.
Perhaps to put some closure on this for now, here are some perhaps final claifications/questions:
1) The shared calendars I am talking about show up in the Folders list, not as a sub folder to the general calendar folder, but just as one of the many folders listed in general. So for instance we do have:
Inbox Outbox Deleled Calendar Shared Calendar 1 (or public calendar 1) Shared Clanedar 2 (or public canendar 2) Contacts Notes Tasks etc.
That is to say we don't have:
Calendar ----shared calendar 1 ----shared calendar 2
There are not shared or public or any calendars that are sub calendars to the general calendar listing.
So if I wanted to view Calendar and Shared calendar 1 side by side, what keystrokes or configuration do I need to do to accomplish this?
Also, to accomplish this on a peer to peer network, we are using a software interface called Workgroupshare, which is specifically designed to share Outlook's features in a rather simple fashion.
Also, I assume that this viewing "side by side" is only in Outlook 2003, and that earlier versions would require opening up the 2nd (or 3rd) calendar in a "new window" but not having all the features and usability as the true side by side?
Thanks again,
John N

Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook] - 29 Sep 2004 12:15 GMT Any calendar folder in your .pst file should automatically appear in the list of folders on the Calendar navigation pane. Click the check box for the ones you want to display. Only Outlook 2003 has side-by-side calendars that scroll together in one window.
