    - How to save search in Calendar in Outlook 2007 In Outlook 2003 I saved tailored and individualized searches on one person's appointments with me in Calendar, and then would open that search later and use it for someone else. Copying the search results to the clipboard then allowed me to use ths to maintain my records of them in Word. As far as I can tell, Outlook 2007 allows me to do the same search in Valendar and to modify it as I had in 2003; but it offers no way to save it! Any ideas? Thanks EWT Tag: Sync Tag: 97845

    - Calendaring queen wants calendar write access to entire company. Is I'm a new Exchange 2003 / Outlook 2007 administrator at a small company and the previous email admin was asked to leave and I was dropped into taking care of things. I have one user who performs a cruise director role in the company and she schedules meetings for essentially everyone to varying degrees. When she schedules meetings they show up on the recipients calendar as tentative which irks her (hence the queen). Is there a way to give her permissions so that her meetings will be automatically accepted without touching each account and giving her explicit rights to make appointments for each account? Thanks, Kevin Tag: Sync Tag: 97841

    - 2007 Calendar bold dates hard to see In Office 2007 calendar, no matter what color scheme is being used, the bold dates (where something is scheduled) are hard to distinguish from the non-bold ones in my 3 month calendar view pane on the left. Is there any way, like a registry tweak/change, where I can change it to make all the scheduled dates something like BOLD and RED(or another color) or maybe BOLD and a larger font size for those dates? Something to make them really stand out. Thanks. Tag: Sync Tag: 97839

    - MOSS Calendar Sync Duplicate Entries We just connected an outlook 2007 client to a calendar. User has write access to the list. Moved some public folder calendar items to the MOSS calendar list. Oulook crashed and when we reopened the program it inserted between 5 and 10 duplicate items for all of the entries. This calendar now has over 8000 items and they are all duplicates. What happened and how can we clean this up and prevent it from happening again. MOSS is SP1 and outlook 07 is sp1.

    - Outlook shared calendars not updating properly Weâ??re having a recurring problem where users sharing calendars with each other are having problems with information not updating correctly. All users have set sharing permissions for other department members to Publishing Editor, so they can all add/remove/change appointments created by anyone. The problem is with Outlook 2007, running on Exchange 2003. The first time this happened, a user saw information on her calendar, but no one else did. She ended up double-booked for a time-slot because she had added several events to her own calendar, but in everyone elseâ??s view of her Calendar, that time slot still showed as empty. I was unable to see the problem, as it had resolved before they contacted me, and we were unable to resolve it. The reverse has also happened. A user opened her calendar and saw Appt. A scheduled for a specific time. Everyone else in the department saw corrected Appt. B (which had been updated recently) in that time slot, however. I was able to see this problem in action, although we were again unable to recreate it. We were able to resolve it by doing the following: It seems for some reason Outlook was pulling info from her Offline Files rather than from the server, and not updating the Offline Files, even when restarting Outlook. Used 'Clear Offline Files' from Calendar properties, which wiped out everything on her Calendar. Did 'Send and Receive' and her Calendar repopulated all entries, with the correct information. The problem has become more severe lately, in that people are being double and even triple booked, because information on shared calendars is not updating correctly for anyone. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is incredibly problematic for our users. We do have another department that is doing this same thing; sharing and updating each otherâ??s calendars, and thus far Iâ??ve heard no complaints of this problem. Tag: Sync Tag: 97832

    - Periodically loosing the ability to add events to calendar Hi, I have a user's workstation running Outlook 2003, SP3 connecting to an Exchange Server 2003(6.5), SP2. Every day or two the user will go to add an event to his calendar and he will be unable create any new events. No error messages. the calendar just will not respond. Other than that Outlook seems to function fine. After the user reboots he can then add events to his calendar again. I have completely uninstalled Office from his system and reinstalled it. Nobody else connecting to the Exchange server has this problem. I've looked all over TechNet and news groups and cannot find anything that gives me any clues. Anybody have any suggestions?

    - Delegating rights to edit appointments We have permissions that allow a manager's assistant access to their manager's calendar. We tested this and have found an issue when the manager created a LiveMeeting and then the assistant needed to change the date of the meeting. It will only update the assistant and the manager, not everyone that was included for the meeting. This sort of makes sense since they are the only two with rights to his calendar, but this poses a problem since this is a common occurrence. Tag: Sync Tag: 97824

    - Cannot resolve a free/busy problem I have a user who has access to two shared calendars (for meeting rooms). She has identical access to both (the access was copied from her predecessor who accessed both without problem), however on one she cannot enter any appointments. She gets the error 'Cannot open the free/busy information'. Similarly if she tries to save then she gets 'Cannot Save the free/busy information'. She used to be able to access both fine, so I do not believe this is a permissions problem as nothing has changed. She is running Office 2007 on Windows XP Pro with Exchange 2000. Other users can access this fine. I tried all the usual /cleanfreebusy etc, but did not work. I also tried deleting her profile on the PC. If I do this and she tries saving appointments on the first log in to Outlook then it works. When she comes out again it does not. I removed both her local and server profiles (roaming profile), so effectively creating a new user and got her to try again. This worked so I thought it must have been a corrupt profile, however after working fine yesterday she now has the same problem now that she has logged out and back in again. I'm running out of ideas. Any suggestions? Many thanks Dave Tag: Sync Tag: 97804

    - Out of Office/Working from home flags I like the way meetings are flagged in OUTLOOK (available, busy, tentative). But with many people working from home (including me), there are 2 different kinds of out of office. Sometimes when I'm "out of office", I'm totally unavailable for anything (like I'm on the airplane), but other times, I'm not in the office, but I'm fullly available for con-calls, webex, or other types of non-face-to-face meetings (I'm WFH - working from home, or from a different location). It would be nice to be able to differentiate between: Out of office but available; and Out of office and unavailable. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Meeting request gives different times to different people I have user A (Outlook 2000, Windows XP) who sent a meeting request to user B (also Outlook 2000, Windows XP) and user C (Outlook 2000, Windows 2000). When accepted, the meeting request creates the calendar entries like this: Users A and C: 1 p.m. (the correct time) User B: 2 p.m. I have made sure that all users are in the same time zone in Windows and that their clocks are reporting the correct time. Apparently this is the second time this has happened, though the users report that it only happens occassionally. Another meeting request made last week had no problems. The only other issue I can think of would be that our network uses an Exchange 2000 server that does not have the DST update that was released by MS two years ago when Indiana changed their daylight savings time to start a week earlier and end a week later. However this does not seem to have caused any other problems regarding calendaring since the DST switch in 2005. Any other ideas? Tag: Sync Tag: 97748
