I would second this question...I have been trying to work on it and it appears that it can be done...just not as nice and clean as Exchange can do it

Shux,

that phpgroupware thing looks powerful, but we are looking for something a lot simpler. We have no intranet or servers deployed here at work (if we did I'm sure we'd already be using exchange.) Our crap website is hosted by Verisign on a custom content management platform, so there's no frontpage extensions, no php, no perl, no nothing!

All we really need is a finished solution with no programming necessary. So far I've found solutions by 4Team, OfficeClip and others, but I have no idea how well these solutions work (I don't know the brand names!) and I was hoping someone could point out something that they use.

Again, sorry bout bein' a jive talkin' turkey earlier...I was hoping to get flamed or something so the thread would stay at the top!

In Office 95 you had Schedule+, which could do this. But then Microsoft decided they didn't get enough money and put it in Outlook, and required a server for it.
If you still have an Office 95 CD somewhere you can first install Schedule+, then install Outlook, and tell Outlook to use Schedule+ as its main scheduler by telling it to run in Workgroup mode.
