Thanks Linda. We've got at least 2 versions of Outlook, which is why I didn't specify. Mine is 2003, not sure of my colleagues' yet. Will check out Slipstick and see what they have. Thanks!

It looks like they both have free trial versions, so you might want to see if they are within your budget (I'm sure they are WAY cheaper than Exchange Server). http://www.slipstick.com/calendar/index.htm Also, you may get more answers to this question if you specify which version of Outlook you are using.

We'd like to be able to view each other's calendars (and possibly contacts) and update from both locations. We are currently working with different versions of Outlook and we don't have Exchange Server as they are standalone installations. Does anybody have any experience of using the MSO Internet Free/Busy Service who could enlighten me about how good or bad it is? Does it only publish free/busy times or is it possible to view calendar details? And more importantly perhaps where on earth I find it? LOL Our alternative is to set up something via an online group calendar perhaps but that's less likely to be useful for us. Thanks in anticipation. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu at the top.
