The best way for them to do this would require that you have an Exchange Server and they are running Outlook 2002 or higher. In Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2002+, you can share your calendar with specific people, and when doing so, you're appts. show on the other user's calendar and vice versa.

We have a couple users that do something similar to this at my work, as they both are in the office at different times, yet do pretty much the same job. To ensure that they both know what the other accomplished, they tend to schedule 50-75% of everything they do. I guess it's the system that works for them.

The way that they accomplish this is to simply include the other person in all their meetings as a non-required attendee. It also helps them determine if they are in the middle of a meeting, and need to talk to the other, will the other person be in a meeting, as the conflict message can be sent to both the organizer and the recipient.

The best place to look up calendar sharing, in this manner, would be MS's support site under Exchange 2003 or Outlook 2003. I believe you'll find step-by-step directions under both. It's not that hard to do, and should keep both users in sync with each other.
