one way calendar syncing?

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Power PC
Email Client: Exchange

I'm trying to set up calendar syncing between my laptop desktop and iPhone. We have an Exchange server that works great for email. However, the desktop calendar only syncs entries in one direction. That is, if i make an entry on the desktop, it appears on the iphone and laptop. However, if i make entries on either the laptop or iphone, they appear on the iphone or laptop, but NOT on the desktop. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on? Can this be a bug in Entourage's Calendar?
Thanks for any help.

I can't setup my iPod Touch to sync with Exchange (our server doesn't
seem to offer ActiveSync) so I can't really test this directly, but I
suspect it is a similar problam as what is seen for some mesages sent
from an iPhone.
The iPhone uses a specific formatting for ActiveSync that Entourage
cannot decode. I'm not sure whether it is a bug in the iPhone ActiveSync
support or a missing feature in Entourage, but it sure is an issue...

Thanks for the info. Our university has the MS Exchange Server set up for the iPhone, but the problem is with another laptop too (which works both ways on the same system!), so it's still a big mystery.

Hi Wayne!

Do this on the problem machine:

If you see this in just one or a handful of folders then right-click or
Control-click that folder or calendar, select Folder Properties and
click the Empty button to empty the cache. You can also select the
account itself and empty the cache for all of your folders.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Bill. I've got it fixed, but not really sure what worked. I tried what you said but also unsynced and resynced with the server. And now it cam back working properly. So since this was so weird, i'm not going to worry about it, and i've not heard anyone else with this problem But thanks much for your thoughts.
