>> Tips for Offline Users (2) - Free/busy Time
Jan 2002

Saving an Outlook 2002 Calendar as a Web Page

In Microsoft Outlook®, on the Outlook Bar, click Calendar.
On the File menu, click Save as Web Page.
Under Duration, enter dates in the Start date and End date boxes, and then under Options, select the options you want. For Help on an option, click the question mark in the upper-right corner of the dialog box, and then click the option.
Under Save as, enter a title for the calendar in the Calendar title box.
In the File name box, enter the file protocol and the path to the location where you want to save the file. For example, to use the HTTP protocol, type http:// before the path.
If you do not want to view the calendar in your browser after you save it, clear the Open saved Web page in browser check box.

Publishing Your Outlook 2002 Schedule to the Internet or an Intranet

Use this procedure to publish your free/busy information to a location other than the Microsoft Office Internet Free/Busy Service.

In Microsoft Outlook®, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click Calendar Options.
Click Free/Busy Options.
To specify how many months of free/busy data is available on the server, enter a number in the Publish [x] month(s) of Calendar free/busy information on the server box. You can publish up to 36 months of free/busy schedule information.
To specify how often Microsoft Outlook automatically updates your free/busy information on the server, enter a number in the Update free/busy information on the server every [x] minutes box.
Select the Publish at my location check box, and then type the name of the server where your free/busy information is stored. The name you specify can include FTP, HTTP, or file URLs; for example, file://computername/public/name.vfb. The file extension for free/busy files is .vfb.
Note To see the free/busy times of someone else who publishes schedule information to an intranet or Internet location, make sure you have the location specified in Outlook. In the Free/Busy Options dialog box, in the Search location box, type the full path to the location you would like to search for free/busy information. You can use any valid URL format, such as: http://, file://, or ftp://.

If most of the people you schedule meetings with are storing their free/busy information in the same location, specify a default path using the %NAME% and %SERVER% substitutions to find any of their vfb files. For example, type ftp://%SERVER%/fb/%NAME%.vfb. When you send a meeting request, Outlook replaces %NAME% and %SERVER% with the name and server of the person you are sending the request to; for example, ftp://microsoft.com/fb/JeffreyWeems.vfb.
