MS Outlook 2007 Sharing Calendars between User Accounts

[keepngoal]

Okay,

So the wifey and I need to be able to see each others calendar that each has setup in their user profile of Windows.

I have Googled "sharing outlook 2007 calendars", and while MS says you need an exchange server, other search results point to 3rd party apps.

Has anyone had experience or can recommend a 3rd party app (or other solution) to this situation?

While I am not against using the Internet Calendar Sharing MS has, I just prefer she doesn't have to register a Live account.

-keep.

Would you be against setting something up on an old machine inside your home network?

Would you consider switching to Google Calendar? It's slick and easy to share calendars.

I have a gmail email account, she has a yahoo email account .... would that work?

There might be an app out there that lets you do that, but you could just register her a "dummy" Google account, and she can just use it for Google Calendar.

I love GCal.

We use Plans - A Good Web Calendar at work for a shared calendaring system for stuff that doesn't make sense to keep in Outlook.

It runs very well for what it is on apache and I think can be run (with some extra work) in Windows.

it is not a way to share outlook calendars and does not (as far as I know) sync between them.

If you're looking for the latter, google calendars with a gmail account might be the way to go.

Register for a just a google account. She can still use her yahoo email address to do so. There is a difference between a google account and a gmail account.

Google Calendar is great. My wife and I use it.

Once again, you do not need a "gmail" account.

Google has an application that will sync your outlook calendar with your google calendar. I use that on both my desktop and laptop to sync to and from my google calendar.

You can create a extra pst file that contains the calendar. Then share that between the two of you.
