Yeah...there's all kinds of Virtual Offices you can set up on the web
and many that'll display your calendars, contact, etc.
Good luck!

Thanks Dian I will look into this. I found a shareware HTML calendar
that may do what they want. Clint

Microsoft provides a free share service and it allows you to publish
your free/busy schedule on the net for anyone in the world to see...who
you authorize! You just need to sign up for a Microsoft Passport ID.
MVPs are forcefed Passports to access private areas at Microsoft, so
we've had them for years. I can't remember the details, but think you
just have to add a little personal info. Then you can access any
Passport sight and there are various things you can do like fill in a
virtual wallet. Which means you can pass money from your credit card to
your passport and then purchase stuff using your wallet, rather than
passing your credit card info to just any vendor. The only one who has
the info is your private Passport ID at Microsoft.
But another feature is to share your calendar over the net. You choose
the info to publish and how often it should update new info...what folks
can/can't see. Then you add emails for authorized people and sent them
an invite to log in and view your data. If they sign in and save the
URL, they can check your status from any Internet access any time of the
day/night, from anywhere, by just logging into the site and seeing what
schedules you have posted. The posting can be done automatically via
Outlook.
To check this out further and/or sign up to have your info posted and
set authorization, click Tools/Options/Preferences/Calendar/FreeBusy
Options and choose the Microsoft Free/busy service. Then click Manage to
set up the service. If you don't have a Passport...that's where you can
sign up to get started with one. Then you log in again, set up your
published calendar info. Decide who sees what and how often it's
updated, etc. Then send invited to those emails whom you want to find
this info.
You can also choose to publish the info on your own server or FTP
service.
Hope that helps.

Dian,
Thanks for the info. Do you know of another way to share a calendar.
Everything I read refers to Microsoft Exchange for Office XP. I do not
see why the option was there in Office 2000 but not in Office XP. Thanks
for anything you may come up with.
Clint

Sorry, Clint, but I've never been able to find a way to do that, either.
There are three workarounds yu can try. One is to open a group email,
click in the body and click Insert/Item. Select your calendar, expand it
and Ctrl/Click each of the items you'd like to share. Then email the
events from your calendar to those in your group. They can double click
each and click Save/Close to add each to their own calendar.
OR...you can create a shared drive in Outlook (have your admin set up
the group rights to access it) and then you can add a group calendar in
that folder that everyone can see. You (or the admin) can set up rights
to say who gets to add/delete/edit events in the group calendar. Both of
these solutions won't allow them to see all the text, but they can
easily double click to see what's in them.
OR...you can use Word. Click File/New and use the Calendar Wizard. Then
you can create calendars for each month and add text in the day cells.
If the font is too large in calendar, select the outside table after
you've create it, and downsize the font. Then you can write in each cell
and email them the doc or print copies for everyone.
Hope these suggestions help.

Does anyone know when using the calendar of Outlook XP is there a way to
get the text to wrap in the fields so that I could print out the
calendar and pass it out to other people. It cuts the text at the end of
the line and other people cannot see it. You can double click it and see
the full text but that does not help me when I print it out.
TIA
Clint
