Sharepoint Hosted
why are sharepoint calendars read only in Outlook?
We use a Hosted Exchange Service with SharePoint. I’ve created a shared calendar, linked it to outlook, where it shows up, however, it is strictly read only. Seems kind of pointless.
Just as Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies has been evolving, so has its level of integration with compatible e-mail and calendar applications such as Microsoft Outlook. For Microsoft Outlook 2000 and Microsoft Outlook 2002, there were two main points of SharePoint integration. The first point of integration was the ability to display a SharePoint Team Services or SharePoint Portal Server site page when the user switched to a particular Outlook folder. The second point of integration was Outlook Web Access Web Parts that displayed data from a user’s Microsoft Exchange mailbox. Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 provides much richer SharePoint integration, including the ability to display a local read-only copy of SharePoint events and contacts lists and the option to create Meeting and Document Workspace sites related to message file attachments and meeting requests.:)
