How far out are you trying to view availability? The default is 2 months
but setting it to 12 months will solve most problems.

Hi,

I'm a complete novice to setting up anything in Outlook. I want to
set up shared calendars that allow people in my organisation to view
each others' availability. I've set everything up as per the
instructions below and double checked all.
http://asp2.wlv.ac.uk/its/website/se...03.asp#Setting

When I check availability in a meeting I get No information for the
people I'm inviting to the meeting.

I know there's an issue with outlook 2003 being hosted on exchange
2007. I don't want to ask our IT support if we're using Exchange or
not because they're external and I'd rather not hassle them until I
have to. They're very busy and our service contract isn't very
strong.

Before I have to ask them, I wonder does anyone know of any other
reasons that I could check that might be causing me to not be able to
view availability in my calendar?

All help gratefully received.

LL
