I'm using Outlook 2003 with Exchange and want to set my calender to show "No
Information" so no users (other than the ones I specify) to see any of my
appointments. I just want them to see "No Information" slashes. At present if
i set it to "0 Months" it does nothing and other users can still see my blue
appointment blocks.

Please help, its driving me insane.

Thanks.

Using older versions of outlook, you can't control who sees your free/busy -
its everyone or no one. Outlook 2007 supports free/busy permissions.

Hi Diane,

Thank you for answering moody2blue's question. Can you tell me where to find
information on how to set free/busy permissions? It is exactly what I am
looking for. We are using Outlook 2007.

Thank you!

in outlook 2007, you need to look at the calendar permissions: right click
on the folder, choose properties and look on the permissions tab. AFAIK, the
additional permissions do not require exchange 2007, but if you don't have
the extra options it may be an Ex2007 feature.

Thank you very much, Diane! We didn't have all the choices from the
screenshot, but I figured out that if we keep the permission set to "None"
and publish 0 months of the Calendar free/busy, the slashes appeared, as
needed. Your response was just enough of a push in the right direction.
Thanks, again!
