Rename Calendar

We use outlook today and not the navigational pane. We have multiple
individual's calendars showing (using "choose folders") and all say
"calendar". Is there a way that we can re-name, or at least change what we
see?
Thanks

Is this Outlook 2003 and are these calendars in other user's mailboxes? if
so, open them using the shared calendar link and you'll see the owners name.
When you open them as additional mailboxes in your profile, you'll see only
Calendar.

You can have the calendar in both My Calendar list and the other calendar
list and as long as you select it from the other calendar list, you'll see
the users name at the top.

Hi Nikki,
Yes in part what your saying is the reason. I have 6 calendars to check,
all
by the name "Calendar" . Some or other time this will become a problem, I
will get it all in the wrong calendar.

Is this because you make appointments for someone else and you don't
want them in your own mail calendar? If so, do you need to tally the
return acceptances/declines on the appointment? or does that matter?

Can Outlook 2003 be "tweaked" to not use the default calendar if a
meeting
request is accepted? When sharing calendars it gets confusing if all
calendars are called "Calendar"

I'd like to have the calendar renamed to "John's calendar" but Outlook
must
then not recreate a calendar named "Calendar", and it must then paste
the
meeting if accepted to this "John's calendar"

How are the mailboxes set up? With individual names or a generic profile?

Reason I ask is that all of my calendars for other users show the name in
the calendar window when opened.

They do show the name - once they are opened. We would like the name to show
on the outlook today page.
