We have Outlook at the office, although I am relatively new to it (used to
have Lotus Notes and Teamware earlier). By the way, in this message "office"
with a lower-case o means the place where I pretend to be busy and working
during workdays, not the Microsoft Office program suite.
The firm also offers a Citrix connection to my home desktop, so that I can
work at home just as if I was at work: for example, I can open my office
Outlook calendar, create new appointments and the like.
I also carry a Palm TX as a PDA. It too has the calendar program, and I
would sincerely like to keep the Palm calendar and the Outlook calendar in
sync with as little extra fuss as possible.
That would of course be a piece of cake if the firm allowed me to install
Palm Desktop on the office computer. Guessed already? They don't. The firm
has a strict policy of not allowing any own programs to be installed on the
employer's machines. However, I have installed Palm Desktop on my home
computer, and selected the "sync with Outlook" option, so that whenever I
sync the PDA at home, the PDA calendar syncs nicely - with the local Outlook
installed on the home computer as a part of the Microsoft Office suite.
However, when doing the sync at home I simultaneously have my Citrix
connection open and the office Outlook visible on the screen of my home
computer. Isn't it just simple to somehow manipulate the Outlook conduits of
the Palm Desktop program that they would "point" to the office Outlook
instead, since it is clearly open and available, if only through a Citrix
connection? Why does the Palm's sync program insist on syncing with the local
Outlook and not the remote one?
