Oh I see. Well, from what I can see having read the site, Microsoft have shut down all published calendars from Outlook 2007 to their servers so that is that. I hope I am wrong but that is what I read there.

The following link describes that the preview feature will be disabled... but not publishing. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA103887591033.aspx
From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on 27 Dec 2009 11:16 Viewing the calendars online is ending, not publishing. The people you share with will need to use outlook or similar app to view the calendar (once they fix the problems with publishing). -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM Poll: What version of Outlook do you use? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=27072 "Hugh Jeego" <id(a)example.com> wrote in message news:#oOnvRvhKHA.4872(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > > Oh I see.

From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on 27 Dec 2009 11:21 You are correct - only the ability to view and manage the calendars in a browser is ending. AFAIK, this will happen closer to the release of office 2010. "Publishing calendars online and subscribing to them do not change. You can still publish and subscribe to calendars through Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. You can subscribe to published calendars if you use a program using the WebCal protocol, such as Outlook, Windows Live Calendar, Google Calendar, or Apple iCal. Calendar updates are sent through Outlook as before, and subscribers download updates just as they do today. The discontinuation of the online tools means you can no longer preview, edit or remove published calendars by using your Web browser. To preview a published calendar with a Web browser, you must subscribe to the calendar using a service like Windows Live Calendar. To change or delete a calendar, you must use Outlook.
