ENT2008 not syncing calendar events with iCal

[Chris Watson]

My company has upgraded to MS Office 2008 for Mac from Office 2008. With
that change, I¹ve had to modify how I sync my Treo with Windows Mobile using
Missing Sync, now relying on Sync Services to pass the data back and forth
through iCal.

With this in mind, I do realize that iCal and Entourage work differently in
how they handle events (multiple calendars in iCal vs a single calendar in
ENT). As a result, it seems that the only way to get new events from
Entourage into my Treo requires me to enter the events in a new Calendar
created by iCal within Entourage, which corresponds with the Entourage
calendar created within iCal.

This is an issue as we¹re on an Exchange server here at my office and I must
keep my calendar on Exchange for meeting planning, etc. I definitely don¹t
want to have to enter every event twice (once in the Exchange-linked
calendar and once in the Sync Services-created calendar).

Is there anyway that events posted to my Exchange calendar can be
automatically added to the Sync Services-created calendar and thereby
carried over into iCal and into my handheld?

Thanks in advance.

I¹ve found that there is a ³Copy to Calendar² option available in ENT 2008.
However, is there anyway to do this automatically or do I need to remember
to manually copy every new event from one calendar to the other? Ugh.

D¹oh! I just found in Entourage¹s Sync Services preferences that I had the
Sync Services looking at the Calendar on my computer, not the Calendar in
the Exchange account. Oops!!
