You actually CAN "sync" of a sort to Google. You have to keep uploading
the ICS every time you change it - at least that is how I read their
report on it.
I tell you though, it really gets me. I have been relying on uploading my
working calendar from my work laptop to the Microsoft online calendar
thing and then I had been subscribed to it at home where I couldn't alter
it, only look at it which was just fine. I need to know what is goingon
at home, in my calendar. Now I cant do that.
The only alternative I can see is to get something like exchange or find a
hosting account SOMEWHERE that will allow ics to sync. I don't know of
such a place, though, if someone else does.
I also just found this on a search.
http://gcaldaemon.sourceforge.net/
which is a free app to sync icalendar between Google and your computer.
Haven't tried it yet. Hope it works.
Yeah, this is not the first time there have been issues. It's fine for
home use - for sharing with family - but if calendar sharing is critical
to business, I'd either go with a hosting account that has guaranteed
uptime or set up IIS on the internal network.
I don't think you can publish to gmail using outlook - you can sync the
gmail calendar to outlook and share the gmail calendar though. Syncing
gmail calendar with multiple copies of outlook is not recommended - you
risk losing data.
I haven't checked too deeply with other hosting services - I have a cheap
godaddy hosting account but it doesn't appear to have webdav enabled..

Diane,
Thanks for the time you spend working on all this with us...
I have the same problem with several computers. It used to work fine
but
now for the last couple of weeks it doesn't... You have mentioned the
server
may be flukey.... but as I scan back into 2/2008 messages I noticed
there
were server problems noted as now... frankly I'm spending more time
attempting to find if the problem is on my side or Microsoft's thanI
can
posting calendars.
Is there a way for us to use Google Calendar as the server? It works
fine.
Thanks for your efforts...
:
If everyone is on the same network, you may be able to set up a webdav
server on a desktop in the network. See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/publishcal.htm.
If you need internet access to the calendar, you'll need web server
that
supports webdav. I use Intermedia.net to host our websites (on windows
2008)
and can publish my calendar to it, but any host that supports webdav
should
work.

I've tried deleting the calendar form "tools... accounts... internet
calendars"
And I still can not publish.
Still get the same error:
The upload of "Calendar" failed. There was a problem uploading the
file
to the server.
