Thanx guys ,

Yeah I decided to go with google calendar. It does what I need , but the
drawback with that is that it only
works on pc's with internet access. We only have two of those on our
lan. So the rest won't be able to use it.
That's the main reason I was looking for something to put on my own
server that all pc's can access on the lan.
