XP Pro SP2
Office 2003 Home setup ie Exchange not installed I have 2 users on the machine: "his" and "her". His is an admin and her is limited user. I initially had both as admins and imported his outlook data into her account to allow her to view his calender entries/appointments etc from her account For security I changed her to a limited user. The "shortcut" for his calender is still there in her Outlook but an error "dont have permissions to expand/open" always comes up. I tried logging in safe mode, clicking properties of his outlook folder [containing the .pst] and giving her "read" permissions but still it won't allow me to have her access the his calnder whilst her is a limited user. I even tried doing the same thing and giving "full" permission [even though I didn't want to give her "modify" access] Any way I can do this [maintain security of my users overall but allow a limited user to view outlook data - specifically the calender - for an admin user]? Thanks |

I logged in Safe Mode as the Administrator and gave her "Full" permission for
the folder the pst is in but even despite this when I log in as "her" and click on the shortcut to "his" calender I still get the error that this user does not have permission to access this folder (it is actually set as the default calnder to open up when Outlook is clicked on - this works fine when her account is "admin").

when I right-click on the calender in my account and go to Admininstration
there is a tab that says "this folder is available to..." BUT it is greyed out! If I could make that live then I reckon we've cracked it!

Incidently, I forgot to say that the reason I want to do this is that I run a
desktop calender proggy called Rainlender, which "reads" the calenders and displays the appts in a nice fashion on the desktop (without needing to open Outlook). She never opens Outlook - the whole excercise is geared to the Rainlender install on her account being able to read my calender and thus displaying important dates/appointments on her desktop...
