Synching Exchange servers

I work on a wide-area network that has three Exchange
servers. The network guys tell me we have a "front-end"
server, and two client servers (slave servers?) that are
connected by a high-speed telecomm connection (sorry, I
don't know the details there). ANYWAY, there can be
significant lag time for the meeting room calendars on the
two servers to synch up sometimes, and we can end up
generating reports that are inaccurate as a result. Is
there any way within VBA to specify which of the "slave"
servers to look at? ...or to tell Exchange to synch a
certain calendar *NOW* to be sure we're getting the latest
information?

This is pretty important...we're generating reports for
our Dietary Dept so they know when and where to deliver
donuts and coffee in the morning!
 
You can't pick which server to hit and you can't tell the servers to
synch with each other from Outlook code. You can tell Outlook to synch
an email send/receive group for Outlook 2002 and later using code but
that would just hit whatever server is available.

See if your admins can set the synch time between your servers to a
shorter period of time.
