Next: How do I set up a docket tracking calendar in Outlook?
From: Aaron on 12 Mar 2010 10:51 Currently, I schedule/track the vacation time of my office members in an Excell SpreadSheet; however, it obviously does not update thier status like an an appoinment in Outlook. Thus, I would like to make an Outlook calendar to track it. Is it possible for me to "schedule" folks' vacation (say, like an appoinment) in a single calendar and have it update the availability status in their outlook (without scheduling me for the same vacay)? ...and how would I go about it? Thanks a lot!
From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on 12 Mar 2010 14:28 you'd need to use VBA code. If you have the right permissions, you could create appointments on their calendars for them. If the group calendar has its own mailbox, you could use meeting requests to "invite" the other person. -- 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 Do you sync your mailbox with a smartphone or pda? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=39473 "Aaron" <Aaron(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:094000E1-9BC6-4F72-AF72-5E0644EB10C4(a)microsoft.com... > Currently, I schedule/track the vacation time of my office members in an > Excell SpreadSheet; however, it obviously does not update thier status > like > an an appoinment in Outlook.

I'd use Exchange for this and export their free/busy vacation data from Exchange into Excel, if necessary. A custom view could be sufficient. -- Leonid S.
