If I recall correctly, the application ended up removing all of your appointments from Exchange - not good. I haven't tested this, but then again, I don't use Google's Calendar either. ;) But for all of you who do, you might want to give this a try. Just be careful and back things up first. Please report back and let us know how it works.

That's almost what I'm looking for! I'm still waiting for a program that can simply push all of my Outlook appointments out to a Google calendar. I currently use my Smartphone to keep track of my wife's schedule and my own. To figure out what's going on, my wife has to call me or look at my phone, neither of which are convenient or portable. A synchronization of this type would be great for me, just through ActiveSync.

Is there a program that does this already that I may have missed?

Hi

If you only need it to make sure your better half knows what's going on, you can try intellisync from yahoo. It syncs both ways, both tasks and appointments. Do a yahoo search for it and give it a try.

Cool. That's about what I need. I'll wait a few months and see if Google makes a similar program before I try that though. She just got accustomed to using everything in her Google account. I'd hate to have her need to check in two different services to round up her e-mail and appointments.

Thank you!

I'm waiting until Google supports full Calendar/Tasks/Contacts sync, but this is a step in the right direction. :)

I am in the same boat as you are. I do have Yahoo Intellisync in place, but my wife prefers Google over Yahoo which means she has to check two accounts; which means she doesn't find out most of my appointments. :-(

Let's hope that Google will enable a sync tool for Outlook/Exchange.
