I am trying to access a public calendar (my department's calendar) and can't figure out how to do that. I have parallels running with Microsoft Windows XP and Office 2007. If I the public calendar there I have no problems. In entourage 2008 I tried "Open other user's folder" and found the department account. When I clicked add I received an error message "Entourage cannot open the folder. You do not have permission to open this folder. Contact department for permission.". Why can I add this calendar in Office 2007 on Windows with out permission errors and not on Entourage 2008 on my Mac? Thanks in advance.

if it is a public folder, you don't have to use that menu option.

in the folder listing on the left hand side of the Entourage window,
select the 'Public Folders' underneath all the mail folders (toggle the
disclosure arrow to show the contents of this item). then select 'all
public folders and the departmental folder should be listed there.
Right-click (control-click) on and choose 'add to favourites' so the
contents of this folders are cached between accesses, and it will also
show up in the left hand pane when you select calendar view.
