Is there a VB script, or something, to open a Shared Calendar?

I have about 15 shared Calendars that I need to add to a bunch of users Outlook.  Is a script or something that would add Shared Calendars that I specify?

Any ideas?  Thanks.

Do you mean you want to create a shared calendar.

Sharing a calendar adds it to the users.

I don't what I was thinking.  I had the Calendars created already.  I was attempting to add the calendars without user intervention.  But sharing the calendar to them, and making them click open, is not that difficult.  Thanks for waking me up!

By design users are independent and it is assumed they have training as users Part of that training is haring and opening calendars.

Is it possible to script the opening part?  Yes but it is not really worth all of the extra steps.  Just send an email.  When a calendar is shared the users get an email which, when its link is clicked, opens the newly shared calendar. Theat is how Office collaboration and messaging have been designed.  It is designed to "empower" users.  Each group of users is encouraged to appoint a guru or a team to help with use and implementation issues.  This make Office far more powerful for the users then if we rely on desktop support to do everything for them.
