Excellent! I've been looking for days to find this information as clear and
concise as you have done here. Thanks.

It appears however that you can't run the calendars at the same time?: EX
user x is logged on and has the shared calendar open then w/ out closing
outlook, logs off and opens user y profile then trys to access the shared
calendar but receives error message - in use can't access (due to the .pst
file i assume). Solutions? Missed something?

Assume you have OL2003. From the menu file/new/outlookdatafile in a
folder
that is shared to all users of that PC. Create a .pst file called shared
calendar - you could encrpyt it with password if you wanted to.

You should then have an additional folder on your outlook folder list for
shared calendar - open this up and create a new folder type calendar into
which you put whatever shared items you want to make use of.

This of course will only work with users of the same computer.

Am running XP Pro, single desktop comp. .users on two diffrent desktops

to share a "public calendar". Is it doable? all help says you need MS
exchange, a single computer does not have it. Seems there should be a way
of
sharing an outlook calendar with users with diffrent screen names on the
same
computer.

Correct. A PST can be open by only one instance of Outlook at any one time.
