Calendar view Outlook 2007 - Exchange 2003 (Public Folders)

[Neko-]

We're using Outlook 2007 in combination with Exchange 2003.

Outlook 2007 has a nice feature in the calendar view to tick multiple
boxes if multiple calendars are found. These reach from calendars in
archive files to other people's calendars on Exchange if the mailbox
is allowed access. This can be done with the ticks usually shown on
the lefthand side in the middle of the calendar view.

To create a centralized calendar for global appointments (such as
holidays), I've created a public folder on Exchange which I can access
normally through Outlook, if I access the 'unfiltered' view. This
folder is readable to everyone, so as to allow for people to be
informed of these global appointments. When looking at the 'Calendar'
view however, only the local calendars are shown, and none of the
calendars in the public folders.

What we would like is to add the calendar folder(s) that exist in the
Public Information store to be listed under the calendar view, where
the user can select or deselect it with the above described 'tick' and
thus view it next to his/her own calendar.

I've been looking around as to how to enable this from Outlook 2007
itself, but cannot find how to add any Public Folders-based calendars
to this list.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Nobody any idea if this is at all possible or not?

Have the person drag the folder to the Public Folder Favorites folder and it
should behave as you wish.
