Thanks and thanks for the URL to the shared folders info. Yeah, I haven't even used OL2k in years, so I'm loading it on a lappy cos' I'll need to write a user guide for the client. And yes, I'm assuming that offering them an intranet solution might be the best route. But if they don't want to go that way, I need to make sure I know all the alternatives. So I appreciate your info. At least now I know what I need to do to get this solved. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything I should know. Cheers! Dian D.

Time for me to ask for help. Linda, I know you have posted lots of answers over time here, about folks using Outlook without Exchange to share info. I plan to read a lot over this weekend, but I have a client as work...that I'll need to help setup some sharing, calendars, and other group solutions for...who are using Outlook 2000 without Exchange. There are about 60 folks in this company and they'd like to share schedules and such. I have lots of info in a couple books I have, but I'd appreciate it if anyone who has more info about this type of situation, pls chime in with some of the basic info of what can and can't be done without Exchange. Such as...can schedules be shared to see when someone else is busy? I know you have to have that profile/calendar info available through a network connection, but can it be done without Exchange? If so how. If not...I'll create an intranet site and allow them to publish their calendars internally with Outlooks schedule publisher feature. But I'd appreciate any info from anyone who is using Outlook 2000 in a workgroup environment...who doesn't have Exchange. Anything I should know, might be missing, etc. Cheers! Dian D.
