How does this work with Outlook 2010? I want to publish an existing Outlook 2010 calendar to a SharePoint calendar, then publish all events continuously to it – i.e. when I add a new meeting to my outlook calendar, I want it to show in outlook.

So this sounds like it makes a static calendar vs a dynamic calendar. How do I make this a dynamic calendar?

Hmm, Angel you may have to spend some time removing those duplicates. Sorry, but it’s been awhile since I’ve run into that problem.

Hi Devin,

I was trying to migrate the Calendar Contents from Outlook 2007 to the SharePoint 2007. But the recurrent meetings are being duplicated. At the first time, it looks good but after refreshing it shows multiple entries of the same meeting.

Please advse.

Thanks
Monica

Hi, I followed your instructions on the top of the site. We’re using Outlook 2007. You said the events were supposed to sync?

I’m a bit confused from the previous responses. If I understood correctly, events added in Outlook should automatically be added to the SharePoint calendar? Is this correct? If not, is there any way to achieve that?

Right now I have imported my Outlook calendar into SharePoint, but it is not syncing up. Also, I’m sorry for posting on such an old entry.

Thanks
-V

When I try to merge, I get StartDate StartTime in one column, but no data descending down the column. The column is blank underneath the title of StartDate StartTime. Also, when trying to paste data into the blank exported excel calendar view I get an error message: “The location column is a read-only column that cannot be modified”. Can you assist Devin?

When I connect my SP calendar to Outlook, when the SP calendar appears in Outlook it has my tasks in there from my personal Outlook calendar. I can’t delete the tasks from the SP calendar within Outlook b/c it then deletes the tasks from my Outlook calendar – how do I create a calendar and have it not copy over my tasks? This is going to be a group calendar and I don’t want to clutter it up with my stuff.

Thank you, Devin. I’ve been trying to do this with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and Office Enterprise 2007 Outlook. I think it is all updated. But when I go to drag an item from the Outlook Calendar to the Sharepoint Calendar that I’m viewing in Outlook, Outlook consistently crashes on me.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi, my company has users using both Outlook 2003 and 2007. The manager wants to build a system to share everyone’s outlook calendars so people can view and even change other people’s calendar appointments. Should I use SharePoint or other Microsoft products?

Thank you

@Jim C

If you have an Outlook Calendar and import the items into a SharePoint calendar you will have to connect that SharePoint calendar to Outlook. You couldn’t continue to use the old one as usual, which makes my previous response to “Wei Zhu” incorrect.

Connecting SharePoint calendars to Outlook 2007 is easy, simply go into the calendar, click Actions > Connect to Outlook. The problem with this, it does not work for Outlook 2003 users. They cannot update from Outlook.

Hope this helps.
