MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / July 2007Net folder
I am trying to share a net calender folder within a group of 10 computers and keep getting error message "Net folders was unable to mail". We are not on an Exchange Server. > I am trying to share a net calender folder within a group of 10 computers and > keep getting error message "Net folders was unable to mail".

So, in your case, it is not possible to share an Outlook calendar folder. Hollis D. Paul [MVP - Outlook] Mukilteo, WA USA Thanks Paul, I do understand the .pst file somewhat, but the MS site/book instructions for sharing a Net folder describe that you can, indeed that is what a net folder is for, giving you the ability to share a Net Calendar if you are not on an Exchange Server. I think it may be a missing file not installed in the receiver's computer as I had to instal additional files in mine to enable me to create a shared Net folder in the first place. I am nearly there, Any more ideas? Heidi > > I am trying to share a net calender folder within a group of 10 computers and > > keep getting error message "Net folders was unable to mail".

I have never heard of a Net calendar in a Net Folder being accessible to Outlook, so I am not any help on the subject. I had assumed that we were talking about Outlook calendars and Outlook files. You might want to see what you can find on either www.slipstick.com or www.outlook-code.com. Hollis D. Paul [MVP - Outlook] Mukilteo, WA USA Thank you Paul, I do appreciate the effort you took to try to help.

You'll find some troubleshooting tips at http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/netfolders.htm but I wouldn't set my expectations very high. FYI, you posted in a programming forum and might have received more information faster if you'd posted in the microsoft.public.outlook.calendaring group.
