Outlook Calendar

Hi All,

We would like to maintain a team calendar and record all our meetings/leave etc.  While we could create a calendar in the outlook public folders, the problem is that if you create an event in that calendar and set a reminder, it says that the tasks and reminders will not work since it's a public folder.  What is the best way to maintain a common calendar while ensuring that the alerts will go out to all the team members?

Thanks
ISS

for easy integration into outlook, you are pretty much stuck with exchange or exchange central.  See --

BTW, we do have MS Exchange Server.  And that's what I meant when I said public folders.
well then, most of the links I gave are relevant.  Let me know if you need more.

Sorry for the articles but they may be something that points you in the right direction.
Thanks to all for your suggestions.  I tried creating a shared calendar on one of the PC and tried accessing it from other PCs.  However I get the error "Cannot open the folder." although I have granted permissions.  I have even tried restarting Outlook.  Can someone tell me why this is happening?  Thanks
