>> Here's what my testing shows:
>> Exchange Server 5.5SP2
>> Outlook 98 or 2000 on NT or Win98
>> Outlook for Power Mac Client Exchange Server Edition 8.1 (SP2)
>> A calendar created on a PC by one user can be viewed by another user
> (give
>> appropriate permissions) in Calendar format on the Mac client (using
> the
>> Calendar icon in the Outlook Bar of the Mac client).
>> That calendar *cannot* be viewed by the user that created/owns it on

>> platform from the Mac client (the calendar is empty). The calendar
> entries
>> can be viewed, though in a "mailbox" format with much information

>> by clicking the Calendar icon in the folder list in the Inbox view.
>> So, I'm larry in the Exchange Server. I create and maintain a calendar
> on
>> my
>> PC using Outlook 2000. I give joe Permissions (under Properties on the
>> Calendar) to edit or peruse my Calendar.
>> Joe can open the Mac client, open the Calendar from the icon on the
>> Outlook
>> Bar, then choose "open other's appointment book" from the File menu,
>> choose
>> larry from the user list and see my Calendar in Calendar format.
>> If I (larry) go to my Mac, opening the Calendar from the icon on the
>> Outlook
>> Bar yields a blank calendar (or it will show only what was input from
> the
>> Mac client). I can see a whole list of calendar items from the PC by
>> clicking the Calendar icon in my Mailbox list of folders, but the
>> information there is in next to useless form.
>> So, the cross-platform calendar integration seems to work. You just
