Hi --
I posted the message below to the Outlook newsgroup. I may have to do this
on a Mac OS X box running Entourage X.
I need for one person in Entourage to maintain calendars for up to five
people who don't work there. She needs to see free/busy information for
these people and schedule appointments between them. I do not -- and will
not -- have access to an Exchange server. (The Mac and the Windows 2000 PC
are the only PCs in this office.) How can I set this up in Entourage?
Thanks,
CL
Hi --
I have a client on a standalone Windows 2000 Pro box running Outlook 2000.
She needs to be able to schedule appointments for several people and keep
track of who's available when. This woman schedules all the appointments and
is the sole maintainer of these calendars.
I created a freebusy folder on her hard drive, created multiple PST files
for all the people, and created individual Calendar folders in each of the
PST files. I also set up all the people in the woman's Contacts folder, and
set up a Free/Busy file location in each Contact in the form
file://e:/freebusy/username.vfb.
With this setup, I can create appointments on any Calendar, but I can't
figure out how to update all the Free/Busy files. In fact, they haven't been
created yet (my freebusy folder is empty).
What else do I need to do to get this to work properly?
Thanks,
CL
