How do you subscribe to a calendar published to office online?

When I click on the link to subscribe to a published calendar in the
invitation email it tries to open America Online. How can I open the
published calendar in outlook.

go into IE's tools, options (or control panel, internet options) and set
outlook to be the default handler for calendars on the programs tab.

Outlook is already set to be the default for calendars in IE. Any other
suggestions? I am using Outlook 2003 and the calendar that is published was
created with Outlook 2007, but I read somewhere that you shoudl be able to
access the calendar without regard to which program created it. I can view
the calendar through live office but I was trying to find a way to access the
calendar from my computer so that I could add events from my computer.

You can't AFAIK - any published calendar that you subscribe to in Office
On-line is read-Only - ie you can copy items from it to your local Calendar
but you can't add items to it.

Outlook 2003 doesn't support publishing calendars and you will not be able
to add new items to it from Outlook 2003 as it doesn't support 2 way sync.

The calendar was published with Outlook 2007. I have been sent an invitation
for the calendar and can view it through office online. What I would like
to do is subscribe to that calendar through Outlook 2003 and be able to make
changes.

You can't do either unfortunately. Outlook 2003 won't subscribe to Internet
calendars, and even if it did, you can't change the calendar you are
subscribed to - only the OWNER can make changes. Logical, really.....

I have been trying to find information on calendar sharing for so long, I
don't remember where I read it but somewhere I read that it did not matter
which version of Outlook created and published the calendar, that you could
subscribe to it with any version of Outlook, it just did not say how to do
it. I guess 2003 is not all that I thought it was.

Well AFAIK no version of Outlook prior to 2007 could subscribe to an
INTERNET calendar - another Exchange User's calendar, yes. That's one of the
main reasons I upgraded to 2007......

Outlook 2003 does not do published calendars, it can't handle multiple
calendar events in one ical. - it will do sharepoint calendars if you want
to share, but it does not support 2 way sync. Only OL 2007 does.
