I'm looking for some help with Outlook 2003/Exchange. Are there any good forums dedicated to this? I did a google search, but the forums all seem fairly random.

Maybe someone here can help. My wife is involved in supervising about 100 people at 20 different sites. They are trying to set up a master calendar or a set of calendars in Outlook 2003/Exchange to keep track of where all these people are. There are 2 other people involved in their supervision and about 5 people who need to know the schedules of all these people. Currently only the supervisors use Outlook 2003/Exchange; the 100 people just get a copy of the schedule, but they may all be added on to the Outlook system in the next few months. They are trying to figure out the best way to implement this. They have considered a single calendar, but this seems unwieldy as about 60 people would be on the calendar for any given day. They have also considered 20 calendars, one for each site. Or one big calendar with a different category for each site. Is there an accessory program for Outlook that handles this sort of thing?

They currently use an Excel spreadsheet that the main scheduler person works up, but this is obviously difficult to share and hard for other people to have input on. Although it does make for a nice table: people down the left, days of the month across the top, site location in each cell. This way each employee knows where they should be on each day.

Anyone else face this problem or have any suggestions?
