How To Create A Calendar In Outlook 2007

In addition to the default Microsoft OutlookCalendar, you can create other Outlook calendars. For example, you can create a calendar for your personal appointments, separate from your work calendar.

When you create an additional calendar, often referred to as a secondary calendar, you might add events to that calendar and expect those events to also impact your availability. However, when others view your availability using the Scheduling Assistant, the secondary calendar events aren't shown. This behavior is by design. Only events on your primary calendar impact your availability.

Important:If you create a new calendar under your Exchange calendar, the new calendar will also sync with the Exchange server. However, if you create a meeting on the new Exchange calendar, responses to this meeting won't be tallied.

In Calendar, on the Folder tab, in the New group, click New Calendar.

Note:If you are in Mail, Contacts, Tasks, Journal, or Notes, on the Folder tab, in the New group, click New Folder. In the Folder contains list, click Calendar Items.
In the Name box, type a name for the new calendar.
