Calendar and Tasks on Public Folders
In order to replicate the calendar and taskpad view on public folders, you need to
create a custom folder homepage that displays those folders.

Folder Homepage Calendar and Taskpad created using the view control
The Calendar and
Taskpad Sample uses the default message store for the controls. To use with
public folders, the folder names need changed to the appropriate folder:
Select the Home Page tab and enter the location of the web page. It can either be on a
web server to you local drive. This example uses a web server on the local
network. Remember to check the box to use by default, Outlook 2002 does not have
an alternate method of showing or hiding the page, Outlook 2000 has a Show
Folder homepage option on the View menu that toggles the page display off and
on.

To set the page as the folder homepage, Right Click on the
folder you want the homepage to be on (or shortcut on the Outlook Bar). It does
not have to be the folder the calendar or tasks are in - you can create a new
folder in your mailbox if you wish. Choose "Properties" from the right
click menu.
