Actually, you can share an outlook 2000 calendar with out exchange. It's a built in feature in office 2000. Microsoft took away this feature in office 2003 (and office xp most likely). File > Share > Calendar (or tasks or contacts). This will open the wizard to configure who you are sharing your calendar with and what permissions they have over it. My LAN users really liked the calendar sharing and it worked very well, until we upgraded to office 2003... Now, I guess, we'll need to get an exchange server.

Hi all, Does the shared calender in the Outlook-family imply the need for an Exchange-server and the sharp version of Outlook? In other words, do I need an Exchange server and the outlook version from eg Office 2000 to be able to use the shared calendar and meeting utils? Are there any groupwares that do not need Exhange and that maybe is free? Lotus Notes is out of the question BTW... TIA.
