Outlook 2003 Shared Calendar Issue

Two users at a company I provide consulting for are trying to share an Outlook 2003 calendar. The environment includes Exchange 2003, so sharing a calendar should be fairly straightforward. However, for some reason the person who shared the calendar shared a calendar under her archived folder list. I've read that sharing a calendar from your Outlook archive folder list can cause issues because for one you are going to be using a user's .pst file at that point and also only one user will be able to connect to their .pst file at a given time.

What I did do to try to resolve this issue is first create a new calendar the correct way by not creating it in the archive folder list. I created the calendar in the same folder list that contains her inbox that is connected to the Exchange Server.

After doing that I went on the other user's pc that needed to access the shared calendar. When I chose to open a shared calendar by finding the user with the newly created shared calendar in the Global Address List the calendar that appeared was the calendar the user tried to share in her archive folder list. I could not connect to my newly created calendar. How can I get the calendar that was in the archive folder list to not display when I am trying to form a connection with the newly created shared calendar?
