Hi,
This afternoon I subscribed via an ICAL feed in Outlook 2007 to my
http://tripit.com
calendar.
I am using Exchange 2007 and Outlook 2007, and a Verizon Motorola Q9C with over the air Active Sync For Exchange. When you subscribe to an internet calendar feed, Outlook creates a separate
Internet Calendars
folder, and below that it inserts the calendars for which you subscribe such as your Trip It calendar.
A chief problem with this approach is that Active Sync only syncranizes information from the primary users calendar, not subscribed calendars. One would have to manually drag over items to the main calendar that you want to syncranize.
Does anyone know of a configuration mechanism I could set up to automatically port over items from subscribed calendars in to my main calendar to support the integration with Active Sync? In doing some research, it sounds like this may be possible with VB script, but that such intigration cannot be done automatically with the Outlook or Exchange UI.
I was also looking in to syncing Trip It with my Google Calendar via a subscription, and then deleting the subscription to Trip It with in Outlook/Exchange. I found a service that syncs Google Calendar over the air with Active Sync without any 3rd party software. However:
1. I don't think the 3rd party service syncs secondary calendars; and
2. I don't think with Active Sync you can have both an Exchange Partnership and another over the air partnership to sync multiple calendars.
I will post a link to the 3rd party service for Google Calendar and Windows Mobile Active Sync in case anyone is interested.
Any ideas?
It is maddening that Microsoft requires the subscribed internet calendars be separate, this should be a configureable option when you subscribe to the internet calendar feed. In my case, I don't want the subscribed internet calendar data to go in to a separate calendar I want the data right in my main primary calendar.
