asked on Sharepoint Calendar
Hi
i was wondering if its possible to update a main company sharepoint calendar by accepting meeting requests etc. for example our recptionst wants to know if people are in meetings or not so in our company meeting requests are all sent out via email and once accepted they fill in a persons local calendar is there anyway to make it fill in the sharepoint calendar so that the receptionist can look at one calendar and not lots.
cheers

Are you using Office 2003 or Office 2007?

The best explanation I can offer is:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA100819871033.aspx
This portion may best explain what you are trying to do.
If your calendar is not displayed, click Calendar in the Navigation Pane.
Under Other Calendars, verify that the check box for your SharePoint calendar is selected.
If you are displaying your SharePoint calendar side-by-side with your Outlook calendar, click in a cell in the SharePoint calendar if it is not already the active calendar.
The title of the active calendar appears darker than the titles of the other calendars.
On the Actions menu, click the type of event that you want to add, such as New Appointment or New All Day Event.
You can also create recurring events, although some of the custom recurrence patterns are not available in SharePoint calendars.
Enter the information about the event, as you normally do for Outlook.
Click Save and Close.

sorted cheers just took a while for everyone to test, so basically as long as everyone make the sharepoint calendar there active calendar then a newly created appointment will go into the sharepoint calendar.
