A friend uses Outlook 2003 and wonders if there is a way to stop the
calendar from trying to access the Internet. IOW he simply wants it to
be content working standalone.

Yes the firewall will block it, but then apparently that affects boot
times etc, it is not so much wanting to block access as wanting to
stop the request from taking place.

Can this be done maybe during initial install, or by selecting remove
/ modify from add / remove programs etc?

Thanks for your time, did look in the group but did not find a reference.

I don't know what your friend means by the "calendar accessing the
internet"......the default install of Outlook does NOT include an
"internet calendar". I think you need to go back and find out a lot more
information...


Sorry, I have not used Outlook much but it was my understanding that
appointments and such could be shared, thus implying some communication
between the calendar (maybe via Outlook) and others in a team. I know he
has a business and therefore probably has the highest version of
whatever he could get at the time. As you suspect there has probably
been a misunderstanding somewhere so thanks for the reply, I will
suggest he post here with more detail if he really wants to find answers.
