@waterprise2
I do know that SyncMyCal handles recurring appointments pretty well.

Now that you are out of the whole loop, you need not use it of course

O-o-o-ps…that should be “tied to” no “tired”; although I sure was tired of Outlook and Microsoft!

Although I used the Google Calendar Sync, I’m just excited that I FINALLY got rid of Outlook altogether! Since I am NOT tired to a corporate environment, I do EVERYTHING (just about) “in the Cloud” with my little 2-person business and I can finally bypass Outlook with direct syncs for both my BlackBerry and my BlackJack II!

One thing, though, that I’ve found with ALL the sync programs I’ve tried…nothing is really “sync’d”–I have annoying duplicates/triplicates of everything!

Recurring appointments are made into individual events and duplicated.

The only “true” syncing I have done is with Palm…but I’m just about over Palm, too!

@Georgia Tech - I didn’t mention that their program allows a sync with BlackBerry. Also, enough people use Pocket Outlook on their PDAs (and not just BlackBerry).

I went to their website, but I don’t see a Blackberry calendar sync program like you discuss, only a Microsoft Outlook version. Since no-one uses MSOE on their handhelds due to its terrible insecurities and general dysfunction, I don’t see how this is news. Organizations use Blackberry, Notes, Exchange Server + BES, GCal, Sunbird, Apple Calendar, Yahoo Calendar… it doesn’t work with these.

@Doug, you sure can, because SyncMyCal allows syncing from any Outlook calendar to any Google calendar, and you can setup multiple sync operations.

Hopefully at last I can now sync ALL my calendars, rather than just the “primary” Google calendar, which seems to be the first one I set up, and which I cannot change for my “Main” calendar, which is number 4 on the Calendar Management list, and whose position I am unable to rise in the listing.
I really need to sync ALL the various calendars. If they were not important to me, then why would I have bothered to set them up in the first place?
I travel internationally, and often need to work offline, updating ALL my details…

@Bill
Umm.. so that you can access them from anywhere?

No one has ever accused me of being a rocket scientist. That said, why would I post my calendars online?
