    Migrating Public Folders to MOSS 2007

    I can't find much documentation on this subject.  Does anyone out there know if there's good article somewhere about migrating Public Folders to SharePoint 2007?

    Also, in Public Folder Calendars we were able to give user's specific "roles" like Author, Owner, etc.  These roles gave the user specific rights to the calendar, and one being that they were only able to delete or modify their OWN calendar entries.  I don't find that SharePoint security allows this kind of calendar-friendly permission options.  Am I missing something?

    Thanks.  Please e-mail responses to here and lisi@mydelraybeach.com.

    I would be interested in any responses to this as well. I have just started to look at migrating public folders to MOSS, but like Mr. DP can't find good documentation on this.

    Re: Migrating Public Folders to MOSS 2007

    I constructed a very elaborate system of pubic folders some of which wrote to access to store data. It was a marvelous tool. I started a new job and needless to say they want to use infopath and sharepoint. Much to my dismay it isn't all that easy. It is even more flaky then the public folders. I have had forms run code and all of a sudden stop working and I can't figure out why. It's too bad they didn't figure out a better way. I have not seen anything on how to migrate. I wish I could because a lot of stuff is already written and can be re-used. Good Luck.

    I would also like information on permissions for SharePoint calendars.  We would like to allow people to add/edit/deleted their own entries, but not other's entries (Author permission).  I have yet to find a way to do this.  Any help will be appreciated.

    Re: Migrating Public Folders to MOSS 2007

    Am I missing something about this question? This is standard SharePoint permissions for lists:

    1. List Settings
    2. Advanced Settings
    3. Under Item-level permissions ("Specify which items users can read and edit"), select "Only their own" for Edit Access
