================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Outlook 2000 == 

NOTE: These procedures only apply if you have installed Outlook with the Corporate Workgroup/Other option. This option allows you to use Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) services. To determine your installation type, on the Help Menu, click About Microsoft Outlook. In About Microsoft Outlook, you should see “Corporate” if you have the Corporate Workgroup installation.

= SYMPTOMS =

When you schedule a private appointment in Microsoft Outlook, this does not keep a delegate from scheduling an overlapping appointment in that time period.

= CAUSE =

The text of a private appointment does not show when viewed by a delegate.

= RESOLUTION =

The delegate must view the schedule in the daily view and notice the color of the vertical bar to the left of the subject meeting time. A colored bar means the time is busy.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The text of a private appointment is viewable only by the calendar owner or the delegate of the owner if the option is set. All appointments are color coded in the bar at the left edge of the appointment time period. Light blue, means the time period is tentatively scheduled, dark blue means the time period is busy, purple means the owner is scheduled out of the office, and clear means the time is available for scheduling.

NOTE: The colored bars do not display in weekly or monthly view.
