  1. Can this be set up for Outlook 2003?

  2. Outlook 2003 does not support this functionality. This functionality was added in Outlook 2007. There are third-party plug-ins for Outlook 2003. We do not support any of these but they should work.

    Here is a free plug-in: http://ical.gutentag.ch/ics4ol.php
