SharePoint - How Do I get Multiple Site Calendars to merging into ONE Calendar

I have been asked to merge  PTO & Training Calendars for 4 Sites, into one
master Calendar for the management team to view... the management site is a
separate page/site.

the management team would then with a workflow approve and or reject the
time off.. and or Training Request.

How would I merge 8 calendars into ONE master Calendar?

is there a thrid party application that does this and or can SharePoint 2007
(MOSS) do this?

Hello Parrothead,

You can link these calendars to Outlook and merge them there. Outlook calendars
can be synchronized with MOSS calendars.

Kind regards,

which version of outlook do i need, as the company is using outlook 2003

PH,

Calendars are just lists, correct?  You can link lists within the same site
collection via SPD, and then display the merged data in a DFWP.

The problem would then be creating the XSLT to display the merged calendar
lists like a calendar...

I love acromyns  as much as the next person, but since it is a Tuesday after
a Major holiday and my brain is fried since it is my first day back at the
office, what the heck is
SPD?

and

DFWP?

We have 9 calendar lists that we rollup into various views depending
on the lists' metadata. Then we display the rollups as consolidated
calendars. We use Bamboo's List Rollup and Calendar Plus web parts for
the processing. Other vendors have web parts with about the same
functionality.
