Is there a way to share outlook calendar without using NET FOLDERS? Our defualt e-mail system is on exchange server, and there is no way to set up a net folder.

I assume by "share" you mean everyone can schedule in the calendar. There are a couple of easy ways to do this. You can create a Public Folders folder containing a calendar and give everyone the appropriate rights or create a dummy mailbox and give everyone rights to the calendar in it. Everyone can have it open at the same time by using the "File"->"Open"->"Other Users Folder", putting in the name of the shared mailbox and selecting "Calendar" in the drop-down list OR (if you give them rights at the mailbox root) they can open it as a secondary mailbox showing up in the Folder View by adding it to the "Advanced" tab in the home mailbox properties. One caveat is that Reminders won't come up on the individuals' PCs UNLESS you school them to schedule everything in the shared folder like a meeting and invite themselves. That way the appointment shows up in the shared calendar plus their own. It has to be in the "home" calendar for reminders to work.
