    Hi,

     

    I have it working now.

     

    This how it worked for me (but i don't know if there is also an alternative solution).

     

    - Get data-> Exchange online-> entered the mailaddress from the colleague who shared his agenda with me

    - select Microsoft account, entered my credentials

    - Select calendar 

    At this point I received the following error message: 

    DataSource.Error: ErrorItemNotFound: The specified object was not found in the store., The process failed to get the correct properties.
Details:
DataSourceKind=Exchange
DataSourcePath=[mail address from the colleague]
Details=

    to solve this I let my colleague set the right ons his mailbox to show the folder.

We are using only O365 mailboxes.

.....at least that's what I think. How can I check this?

    Hi, I am having the same problem. How did you get this image to appear? Is this within the settings in Outlook? If so, where did you find it under? image.png

      Hi,

       

      You can open this window by clicking the right mouse button on the Calendar in Outlook and then choosing "Properties".

       

      The setting is on the Authorization tab.

       

      Best regards,

    Hi P-2019 ,

     

    Did you have to fill in mailaddress AND password of the shared outlook account or mailaddress was enough to connect to the shared calender. I tried with shared calender and visible map as you suggested but still got the Error.

      Hi,

       

      I found a screenshot on the internet, but I think it's an older Outlook version.

       

      It is the option "Folder visible" on the tab "Permissions"

        Are there extra steps I have to take for an online calendar that was shared with me? When I right click and select Properties in Outlook for the calendar I want to connect, I only have the General tab
