Microsoft outlook 2007 calendar sharing?

Question

we have a small office network and i'm trying to setup out web based email to outlook and share the calendar with everyone. well i have the emails set up now i'm having trouble with the calendar sharing.

everywhere i go to find out how to do this, it says go the the calendar and then say "share my calendar". Well I don't have that option. I tried doing the online publishing but thats not letting my recipient log into it. I keep seeing "exchange server", what is that? Do i need that?

Can someone help me!

right click on the calendar icon and select properties.

go to the "permissions" tab.  You can select individual people to give permission to.  Or change the "Default" permissions to allow people to view only, edit, or whatever you want.

unless you are all connected via MS Exchange server, you won't be able to share your calendars.  Exchange server is a program that handles your email, etc. for a company. If all your email is being delivered through your ISP (such as bellsouth.net or verizon.net, etc) then you're not using exchange.  Exchange is used when people have something like @mycompany.com  that is not being delivered through a hosting company.   From what you've said in your post, I'd be 99.9999% sure you're not running exchange server because someone in your office would have had to install/configure it on your servers.  And it takes someone with some know how to do it.  If they knew enough to setup/configure exchange, you wouldn't be asking this question on Yahoo answers.  

so bottom line is...you won't be sharing your calendars.
