Diane,

Ur awesome and thanks for spreading the news. It worked, so now i have to
fix it this for 30 staff members at work but it's work it b/c they use this
outlook tool everyday and rely on it for communications. Thanks a bunch!

Gmail has their own sync tool for calendars -

don't recommend using this on multiple computers, so use it like you do
office online- *one uploads, others download.

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 going on
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.
