Sharing Outlook 98 Calendars without Exchange Server
We have an office of 8 Windows 95 Clients, with Office 97 and Outlook 98 on each. We also have an NT4 server. We DON'T have an Exchange Server. So, what's the best way to share eachothers Outlook 98 calendars? (If we could just view them, that would be good, but If we can add changes that would be even better!) Thanks

use Netfolders---it is on the Outlook cd, if you go to add/remove programs in control panel and add features to Outlook you can add the Netfolders. go to www.slapstick.com (i think) that is where I found info on setting that up--I have only done it once, so do not remember all the details. One caution-it is a pain if you change names or move any pc's that are shared after it is setup
Thanks - your suggestion works for most aspects of viewing the busy/free times of other peoples calendars - which works perfectly for me. The site you mentioned by the way, is SLIPstick.com - not slapstick....It's really helpful... Thanks again! Tim
