I am a stay at home mom with 4 kids. I use Outlook to keep track of our
schedules. I have a wireless network in the house and out like my kids to "see" my outlook schedule on their computer. I just want them to know what we are doing for the next week or so. I have tried Cozi and it way messed up the sync with outlook and deleted things and duplicated things (it took me all day to put it back). I have also tried PlainSite Desktop Calendar and it looks great on my computer but when I try to use it on theirs and access my ..pst over the newtork outlook won't open on my pc because it says the pst is in use. I do have have exchange (little bit over kill for our house). Does anyone have a suggestion for me. I need the desktop interface to be user friendly and easy for my children to read the oldest is 15 and the youngest is 8 |

Version of outlook?
An online calendar should meet your needs - try live calendar (live.com) and sync it with outlook. If the kids have hotmail accounts, you can share your calendar with their accounts. Google's calendar is also nice - its sync is a little buggy though. if you have outlook 2007, you can publish it to office online and share it with them.

Thanks: It is outlook 2003. I will check more with online calendars. I just
don't want it to "sync" back to my computer. I don't know if it was cozi or the kids who deleted the appointments. If the kids deleted them when I resynced it would have deleted them as well.

you need a calendar where you can give them view permission, but not delete.
