Multiple Calendars and Exchange Free/Busy

[simpsomatt]

I'm trying to set up two calendars in Entourage, and I want events in both to be included in my Free/Busy status when others invite me to events.

Within my Exchange account, Entourage shows a calendar named "Calendar", and its icon has a green/white checkmark. Events in that calendar show up in my Free/Busy schedule. When I create a new calendar, either directly under the Exchange account, or as a sub-folder within "Calendar", events in that calendar do not get included in Free/Busy. The icon for the new calendar does not have the green/white checkmark. I don't know what that checkmark means, or whether it has anything to do with whether a calendar's events show up in the schedule. I can't find any documentation that explains any of this. Can anybody help?

I'm trying to set up two calendars in Entourage, and I want events in

The green checkmark means the calendar is your default calendar. This
will be set when you set your default account in the Tools --> Accounts.

To the best of my knowledge, you can only have one default calendar and
only that calendar's information will be synced with free/busy. I don't
believe this default calendar can be changed from "Calendar".

Hope this helps!
