right now I have a windows small buisness server 2003 setup and have
many windows xp pro computers connected to this domain with outlook
2003 on each of them. Each user has there calendar shared so people can
view what appointments each other have and can schedule appointments
for people where any free areas people have. what I want to do is set
it up to where people can put personal appointments on their calendar
and every one else can't see it what they would see instead would be
"out of office" or something similar but they still can see the other
appointments. Is this possible to do?

If they check the "Private" box in the lower right of the entry, then others
shouldn't be able to see anything but the free/busy.

I just tryed that and it hides it from everyone but that user's
calendar when other people try to view the calendar it does not show up
at all it does not even say busy
