I have had a request from one of our directors, he would like to see all of his team's availability in one place with no effort required on his behalf.

I thought the best way to do this would be to get each team member to create a daily All Day Event in their own calendars. I have created a Category called "Location Information" in each of their mail files (via an agent). The users need to enter free text in the subject of the all day event such as "AM - in Office PM - Client Meeting"

I have then created a new mail file and in the Calendar view I have amended the design so that it uses the following view selection formula:

SELECT FORM = "Appointment" & APPOINTMENTTYPE = "2" & CATEGORIES = "Location Information"

This works fine for entries created in the host mail file, however when I use the Show Calendars option and add in the users the director is interested in the overlay shows all calendar entries regardless of the categories. Does anyone have any idea if there is any way around this at all or am I wasting my time trying?

Any thoughts or comments would be welcomed.
