Searching for support regarding my Outlook calendar, want to use it on two
computers and I believe to do so I need to link it up to my Hotmail Calendar
first, not sure.
 
But only if the OP has a paid-for Hotmail account. AFAIK the Connector won't
synch free Hotmail calendars...

The calendar for my free Hotmail account seems to work.

That must have been a recent enhancement then. (Well, since I discontinued
using the Outlook Connector about eight to nine months ago....)

From the Outlook Connector download page:

For Calendar Tasks and Notes Functionality

a.. A paid subscription-based e-mail account from MSN, Windows Live
Hotmail or Office Live
 
Which connector does that page talk about? The first line of the overview
for the 12.0 connector (which is calendar only for paid accts):
A new version (12.1) of the Outlook Connector offering free calendar
synchronization is available here.
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...B1-DF0A-46E1-AA93-7D4870871ECF&displaylang=en)

12.1 does support free accounts fully.

Thanks for the heads up. There's obviously two different pages at MS - I was
looking at this one:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...950c-5e9ea66322d4&displaylang=en#Requirements

Very confusing!
 
To me there is a difference between "synchronising" and "being able to view".
I can certainly view my hotmail calendar in Outlook, but I don't know how to
physically synchronise it with Outlook 2003, such that I don't have to copy
stuff over. Any ideas? My PDA doesn't synch with Hotmail, hence the question!

As of, oh, about a year ago, the free calendar will sync. Make that nearly

Since Active Sync can't use the hotmail store to sync, you're stuck with 2
calendars and will need to copy items between the calendars if you want them
both on hotmail and the pda.

That will work as long as you use outlook 2003 or 2007 so you can use
the
outlook connector.
