MORE INFORMATION

The Free/Busy information is stored on a per-user basis rather than a per-profile basis. If the user who is logged on to the computer defines multiple profiles, each profile will contain the same Free/Busy information.

To set the calendar Free/Busy information, follow these steps:
  1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
  2. On the Preferences tab, click Calendar Options.
  3. Click Free/Busy Options. In the Free/Busy Options dialog box you can set the following items:
    • How many months of Free/Busy information to publish.
    • How frequently the information should be updated.
    • Whether the information should be published on the Internet.
    • The Internet URL address for storing and searching for the information.
