(Tech Tip: Outlook) How to open a shared calendar / contacts folder

Outlook (with Exchange) gives you the ability to share a calendar or contacts folder with someone else in your organization.  This can be done entirely without admin intervention.  Also you can control whether the sharing is read-only or read-write.

(Part 2 of 2)

1. Make sure the other person has shared with you
