Because public folder can only hold items, only way i can think of is creating new calander to store staff leave record.

Again, this is not best practice at all.

You should try sharepoint as i've mentioned. It is free to use. Anyway, if you plan to upgrade to Exchange 2007 in future, MS recommed you should use SP instead PF

I give an example what you can do with SP. A user log on to SP workspace, she/he can submit an leave application. It will alert her manager via email. Then manager approve it and pass information to Payroll officer. Also every can share calander view of who currently off sick today etc...

All possible in SP.

I am not familiar with Sharepoint. But if it involves extra investment, that's not an option for us.

Any other suggestion, please?

Hi,

Best to use Sharepoint instead of Exchange Public folder.

Hi all,
Wer are looking to use Exchange/Outlook for leave application approval and having a central place (most likely in a resource/Public Folders Calendar) to store staff's leave record.

Could you please share your experience?

TIA

(we use Exchange 2003, Outlook 2003/2007)
