Check that you have 11.2.1, not an earlier version., (First release of 2004
was 11.0). Or go to Help/Check for Updates in Entourage and update to SR2
(11.2) and then 11.2.1.
Then, yes. By "subscribe to" the calendar, are you referring to someone
else's calendar that they either 1) Share with you (have implemented
sharing), or 2) have set you as Delegate, or 3) have created as a Public
Folder?
You have to "subscribe" within Entourage. The details for doing so in cases
1) and 2) are in the Help, under Sharing and Delegate. All these calendars
(ones you are set up with permissions to share or are a delegate for) will
show up in the Calendar area of Entourage as separate calendars in the
column on the left..
In case 3), it's not in the Help. (Apparently having permissions to create
public folders is not too widespread. In many orgs, only the IT Admin can do
that. But in other orgs, everybody can.) If you, or a colleague, has
permission to make Public Folders, you, or they, can create a new Public
Folder (often only as subfolder of another public folder) of Calendar Type.
That will not show up, at first, in the Calendar area - only in the Mail
area under Exchange Account/Public Folders/All Public Folders. The way to
subscribe to it in Entourage is to right-click (control-click) on it and
select "Add to Favorites". Then it shows up under Favorites. And if it is a
Calendar folder, it will now show up in the Calendar area too. (If an
Address Book folder it shows up in Address Book area.) That's probably the
step you've missed. You have to subscribe to it by adding it to Favorites in
the Public Folders listing before it will show up in the Calendar area. As I
said, this is not on the Help. I only found out about it two days ago
myself.
