How do I synchronize calendars in Outlook2007 with Calendar Print

Cannot open calendars/tasks in Calendar Print Assistant. When I open the
program, I receive the following message: "Object reference not set to an
instance of an object"

Have you tried reinstalling the CPA?

Yes, I have...several times (uninstalling/reinstalling). Still get the same
error message. Wondering if it could be a firewall issue?

Are you trying to print calendars across a firewall?

When posting your questions, it ALWAYS helps to post all relevant information, like Outlook version, and any extraneous issues that would not normally be assumed, like printing calendars across Exchange organizations or sites.

I apologize. Using Outlook 2007. Trying to use Calendar Print Assistant for
Outlook 2007, in order to have more design/format options to print calendars.
My Outlook goes through our network connection at work. Don't know what
their firewall settings are (don't have access to that). I believe they use
Microsoft Exchange, but not sure. The CPA will open, but I cannot get it to
load my Outlook calendars into it. Tried to SAVE a calendar, but it will
only let me save in file type .ics, not .calx. Tried making a calendar a
shared calendar as well, but that didn't help.

Okay - I think I may see the problem here.

Are you trying to connect to Outlook locally (desktop) or over the Internet (type into your web browser https://www.mydomain.com/exchange/myusername or through VPN (a method for accessing your work Network from home using a special software connector)?

If you are trying this locally, it should work as expected. If you are trying to do this with a VPN connection, then it should also work.

However, if you are trying to use this with Outlook Web Access (typed https:etc.), it will not work as that is only a browser view of your data and you have no connection to any tools that would be able to do what you want.

Please post back again with how you are connecting to Outlook - locally or through one of the other two methods.

Thank you, Milly. I connect to Outlook (on my desktop) through our network
server. I'm connected through a network cable (which is plugged into a drop
line in the wall). I open Outlook only by double-clicking the icon on my
desktop. I do have to enter my domain and username on a dialogue box that
opens. (Is this what you mean?) I don't use a VPN, and I do know it does not
go through Outlook Web Access.

Okay the, now that's out of the way. If you are in the office when connecting to Outlook, then opening the Outlook Calendar Printing Assistant while Outlook is open should give you the full range of options.

When you view your Outlook folder list, do you see only Outlook Today - Mailbox Name, or do you see Outlook Today - Mailbox name as well as a second set of folders named Personal Folders? If yes, where are your actual appointments kept, in the one under Outlook Today or Personal Folders?

We are making progress here.

Ummm...I'm not at work right now, so I'm trying to remember....I can see all
the sets of folders in my Folders List. I work from the Archive Folder and
that's where my calendars are. It just dawned on me....wonder if that's my
problem? Do I need to have my calendars located in the Outlook Today -
Mailbox (name) folder, or maybe the Personal Folder? (I work in the Archive
Folder because my company automatically cleans (deletes old emails) out the
other folders on a weekly basis. They don't touch the Archive Folders, which
I clean myself.)

the calendar you use shouldn't matter as it does print other calendars. The
error indicates a problem with a custom form or something like that. Try
Help, office diagnostics.

I just ran Office Diagnostics and 0 problems were found. I was thinking the
error message meant that as well, but I don't have any custom forms in any of
my Outlook calendars or tasks. Any ideas as to what else it could mean?
(I've never seen an error message like this before) - Thank you
