Windows Calendar - Share on a Network Drive??
Posted by admin on Jul 27th, 2006
I have 2 computers with Windows Vista and Windows Calendar. I want to store my Calendar file on my Y Drive (which is my NAS device) and accessible by BOTH computers. Both computers can STORE their .ICS files on the Y drive...but when Computer 1 wants to SUBSCRIBE to Computer 2's ICS file on the common Y:\ drive I get an error message "an error occurred during the subscription process. The filename, directory name. or syntax is incorrect." I am 100% sure the file name and directory are correct...it is as if Windows Calendar is SPECIFICALLY looking for some sort of URL (domain.com) to connect to though??Is there ANYWAY that 2 computers on the SAME network can VIEW each other's calendars without putting the calendar on some sort of Internet site?Seems like such an easy thing to do.....but I am not sure if windows calendar was meant to be used this way or not?Thanks....Chris Hagler

Did you click the Browse button after clicking Publish to see if you could just navigate to the hared resource.The URL is just an example. You can publish to any location that you can access. "Chris Hagler"

Yes, I tried to browse to that location, however, it seems to only want an type address...not a drive letter or a network share type name.I do no think that your statement about "You can publish to any location that you can access." is true, or I wouldn't be having this problem.Are you currently sharing calendars on a Network drive between 2 PC's on the same network? If so, then there may be hope yet. Please explain in detail if you actually have this working.Thanks...Chris Hagler"Puppy Breath"
