Hmm, That's unfortunate. I hope Microsoft fixes that at some point...
Is there any relatively easy and free way to publish an Outlook
calendar? I use Yahoo Small Business hosting for my website. They have
a Frontpage feature which, from what I can tell, will set up a WebDav
server for you. I figured I'd then be able to use my webspace to
publish my own Calendars. However, whenever I try to map it to a drive
in Vista it doesn't work. As far as I figure out, I think it's because
Yahoo doesn't support SSL for WebDav (or FTP... kind of pathetic,
really...) and Vista refuses to make non-secure WebDav connections.
Is it possible to publish to an FTP server or maybe to Microsoft's
SkyDrive or Mesh folders? I can map a drive to an FTP server, but it
doesn't seem like Outlook will let you publish to a local folder, only
to Office Online or a WebDav site.
I'm going to stay away from Google's sync. I was thinking of trying
out this one:
http://www.syncmycal.com/index.htm. You have to pay for
it but it's reasonably priced and looks like it might be okay.
Thanks for the link you provided. The Kigoo addin looks interesting. I
haven't tried it yet, but based on the info on their website, it seems
it will basically mirror a Google calendar in Outlook as if it were a
local calendar then update on Google in realtime. I'm not sure if it
will let you do so for your primary Outlook calendar, though, or even
if that would be such a good idea or even what happens if you're
offline. I'm wondering if there's any way within Outlook to
synchronize a date range between 2 calendars? If so, I could set up a
second calendar to sync with Google through kigoo, then sync that
calendar to my main calendar within Outlook. That might actually be
ideal if it's possible.
Thanks!
I don't think the office online calendar is accessible via google
calendaring at this time.
If you use google's sync only do a one-way - I lost all of my google
entries
doing two-way syncs. You might want to tryhttp://
www.getkigoo.com/- it
may
not sync up to google though, only bring the calendar down. (I haven't
had a
chance to try it yet.)

I've been able to publish my Outlook Calendars to Office Online, but
when I try to subscribe to them in Google Calendar I can't get it to
work. Either the URL fails or there's some message about a robot.txt
preventing Google from crawling the site.
Has anyone successfully done this? I realize Google has a sync tool
but it's very limited and I don't trust its conflict management, since
they haven't bothered to describe it... I'd rather just post my
Outlook Calendar so I can read it online through Google.
