Trying to open new calendar item from Outlook 2007

[G_Lo]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: Exchange

A user has created a new calendar item in Outlook 2007. He has shared the calendar item out to both Mac and Windows users. The Windows users are able to connect to this calendar (Outlook 2007) but the Mac users cannot. In Entourage, the mac user goes to File>Open Other User's Folder and finds the correct user but there are only 3 types to choose from (Calendar, Address Book, Inbox). The mac user chooses Calendar but gets an error message saying he doesn't have permission to open the folder. What is interesting is that the mac user can connect to the main Calender when the just that calendar is shared. How can the Mac user (Entourage 08) connect to a Calendar Item that is being shared out from Outlook 2007 on Windows XP?

A user has created a new calendar item in Outlook 2007. He has shared
the calendar item out to both Mac and Windows users. The Windows
users are able to connect to this calendar (Outlook 2007) but the Mac
users cannot. In Entourage, the mac user goes to File>Open Other
User's Folder and finds the correct user but there are only 3 types
to choose from (Calendar, Address Book, Inbox). The mac user chooses
Calendar but gets an error message saying he doesn't have permission
to open the folder. What is interesting is that the mac user can
connect to the main Calender when the just that calendar is shared.
How can the Mac user (Entourage 08) connect to a Calendar Item that
is being shared out from Outlook 2007 on Windows XP?

Unfortunately, Entourage is limited to only those three items when
connecting to them as shared items.

The only workaround I can advise would be to connect as a delegate,
which would give you access to the full account. Not sure if this will
work but it's worth a try.

Hope this helps!
