RE: [WinMac] Mac Outlook Client to Exchange Calendar?

To kick a dead horse again (sorry) - Were the calendars created on a PC or
Mac? If they were created from Win Outlook then in my (and other people on
list that replied) experience, clicking on the little calendar icon yields
an empty calendar. It's a nice looking, but empty calendar. As opposed to a
nasty looking bunch of email messages posing as a calendar that us
cross-platform users get to look at (grin). If you are doing this
cross-platform with Calendars generated on a Windows client then please tell
us how this was accomplished.

Thanks,
Larry Larraga

Hey, I'm running Outlook on my Mac [SP 2], and my calendar looks like a
calendar. Have you clicked on the little calendar icon at the end of the
toolbar? I can see everyone's calendar in my organization, folks can write
to my calendar, meeting planner works, etc.

Hey, I detest Microsoft as much as the next MacFan, but this thing works.
Better yet, my Mac is faster at it than my old Dell latitude.

Yeah, the Calendar Folder looks like a bunch of InBox messages, but that's
not what I use. Who knows what's up with that?
