Cannot access shared Outlook 2007 calendar from SharePoint link list
With Outlook 2003 it is possible to open a shared Outlook calendar on the exchange server with the SharePoint list link > outlook://Public Folders/All Public Folders/calendarname. Outlook 2007 users get a 404 page (The webpage cannot be displayed) when clicking the same link from a list web part. What is the proper path/command to use to open a Outlook shared calendar (in Outlook) FROM a Sharepoint link list using Outlook 2007? Or has this function been discontinued for Outlook 2007 users? Any help appreciated.

Hi Ray Evans, To display public folder content, you can use the Page Viewer Web Part to display any Outlook Web Access page using the URL for that page. For example, the URL to display a month view of a top-level public folder named Company Meetings would be: http://servername/public/company%20meetings/?cmd=contents&view=monthly Note that %20 replaces the space character in the folder name. The cmd=contents parameter specifies that only the contents of the folder should be displayed, not the folder navigation pane as well. The view=monthly parameter specifies that the complete current month should be displayed. Other possible values for the view parameter would be weekly or daily or the name of an existing saved view. The monthly, weekly, and daily values are case sensitive. For more information about display an Exchange Public Folder in a SharePoint Web Part, please refer to the following article: Display an Exchange Public Folder in a SharePoint Web Part http://weblogs.asp.net/wkriebel/archive/2004/10/28/249195.aspx Finally, I suggest that you use a SharePoint calendar as your shared calendar, then link the SharePoint calendar to Outlook 2007. For more information about how to do that, please refer to the following articles: http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/outlook-2007/shared-calendars-with-sharepoint-and-outlook-2007.aspx http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/share-a-calendar-using-outlook-and-windows-sharepoint-services-RZ001118721.aspx Regards, Rock Wang Microsoft Online Community Support
