Group Calendars

A

Andy

We are trying to better utilize outlook calendars. Right now we have a
number of office calendars and personal calendars. So often times a person
may for example need to add an appointment to both their personal calendar
and a group calendar. Right now the person must add the appointment
separately on both calendars. I discovered that if you make the appointment
in your personal calendar and add the group calendar to appointment's
attendee list you then only need to create one appointment (and you can also
do things like track attendance responses) and it shows up on both calendars.
However, the problem then is if you update to appointment on your personal
calendar then both the original and updated appointment show up on the group
calendar. The group calendar has no way of accepting the update, so both
appointments show up.

I was hoping there might be some suggestions on how to work around or deal
with these situations. Or possibly some alternative ideas for workflow or
business practices.
