How to Open a Shared Calendar in Outlook 2003
December 1, 2007
After you’ve shared your calendar with other user’s in Microsoft Outlook 2003, you’ll want to tell others how to open it. Here’s how you do it.
Using the Navigation Pane:
Step 1: Click on the Calendar Shortcut button
In Outlook, Click on the Calendar Button in the Navigation Pane. The button may look like this:
Or if the shortcut bar is not expanded, it may look like this:
Step 2: Click the Open a Shared Calendar Link
Scroll down to the Bottom of the pane, and there is a link titled “Open a Shared Calendar”.
Note: The “Open a Shared Calendar” Option only shows up if you are using a Microsoft Exchange Server.
After Clicking the link, the “Open Shared Calendar Dialog Box page will appear. Pressing “Name” will open up the Address book, and you will be able to select a specific user from the list.
After opening a user’s calendar once, their name should appear under the “Other Calendars” section of the Navigation Pane.

If both of you are in the same Microsoft Exchange organization, then it should be able to find it. Try looking in your address book (not your contacts) and see if the user is there. If so, try formatting the name differently.

Hi,
When I open other user’s shared calendar, it only gives me access to the person’s main Calendar and not a newly created shared calendar the person had created and shared. How do I access the new/secondary calendar?
Thank you,
Linda
