Sharepoint Calendars will not link to Outlook
Hi,I'm running SharePoint WSS 3.0 and Outlook 2007. When I select from my sharepoint calendar "connect to Outlook" I get the expected pop-uo in Outlook asking me to confirm the connection. After I click OK, the calendar does not show up in Outlook. Instead I get an very generic informational message in my OS application log:Source: OutlookEvent ID: 27Level: InformationDetails: The operation failedI've tried this in Outlook 2007 on both Windows 7 and Windows XP. The problem seems to follow my user account, because other users can connect without a problem. My user account is the sharepoint owner on all these calendars and I have full control of them.I've tried repairing Outlook and the connection does not show up in the Sharepoint Lists section in my Outlook Account Settings.Thanks!

When synchronizing Contacts or Calendars it doesn't list those under the SharePoint lists since both of those content types are natively supported in Outlook. If you click on the Calendar node there should be a list of "My Calendars" with any SharePoint calendars listed.

Hi Jennelle C, Based on your description, your issue should related with your settings of Outlook. Could you please check if Connect to Outlook feature works for other lists or libraries? Because I am not skill in Outlook troubleshooting, I could not give you very detailed Outlook troubleshooting advices. If possible, could you please create a new profile following How to create and configure an e-mail profile in Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2003 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918) and verify whether your issue continues to persists? Hope the information can be helpful.

Hi Jennelle C, Another thought, there may be a configuration error in the PST file. Could you please open the Outlook and check Tools menu > Account Settings > Data Files tab and double click the SharePoint Lists, make sure the Personal Folders filename is set to a file and you have the correct NTFS permission on that file. Hope the information can be helpful.

I too have had the same issue since getting a new machine with Windows 7. I am having the exact same problem using Windows 7. I was able to do this no problem with the Outlook 2007 on an XP box, but since I have a Windows 7 box the same functionality will not work. Any suggestions?? BJ

Hi, Sorry, I never got my alerts on this thread, but it turns out we had a GPO that forced all outlook data to be written in a directory called \outlook on users home drives. However for the people who couldn't connect, it turned out there was already a FILE with the same name in the root directory, like outlook.ost, etc, which was preventing the creation of the "outlook" subfolder. *Jennelle
