Outlook Today Calendar Data

I have a client that's added MS Exchange Server to their business and there
is one small issue that I'd like to see fixed. The network/client specs are
this: Windows 2000 Server SP4, MS Exchange Server 2000 SP1, Outlook XP SP1.
The "boss" is the only person that works this way. They had (and still use)
standard POP mail via their webhost, but they've also added exchange server
for the group scheduling and shared contacts features. He wants to have his
calendar accessible by his assistant...no problem there. Used the Delegate
tool in outlook and gave permissions, and have his calendar and contact
folder opening on assistants computer when she fires up outlook...still no
problems. Setup offline message store so boss can take his laptop with him
and still get to his e-mail, calendar, and contacts offline...yet again, no
problems. Here is the problem. When he starts outlook, he loves Outlook
Today as his opening page so he can get an overview of his day. The calendar
from his Personal Folders shows up, but he'd like his more up to date
calendar from exchange (which is kept in his offline storage file locally).
I've looked all over the place and can't find where to adjust that. Any
ideas?
 
He has the personal folders set as the default message store- he needs to
have the exchange mailbox set as default.

Dang, I knew I'd feel stupid when I found the answer. That was the issue
*smacks self in back of head*.

Thanks!
