Calendar - Local vs Exchange after SP2

S

Scott Wilkie

Installed SP2 today, and now I've got 2 Calendars: one local and one under
my exchange account.

THE BIG PROBLEM:

All of events in the "work" category are in the Exchange calendar, and all
of my other events are in the local calendar (where everything has always
been until I installed SP2).

I can't find any way to view both calendars at once, and I can't find any
way to restore all of my work events to my local calendar. Ideally, I don't
want anything on the exchange server; I want to kill that calendar
altogether (after getting all of my events off of it).

Help please!!!

This is one of the enhancements in SP2 - you can have as many calendars or
address books as you like on Exchange accounts. It seems that the majority
of exchange users wanted their 'work' calendars and contacts segregated from
their local ones, which is why you have the behaviour you describe.

THE BIG PROBLEM:

All of events in the "work" category are in the Exchange calendar, and all
of my other events are in the local calendar (where everything has always
been until I installed SP2).

I can't find any way to view both calendars at once, and I can't find any
way to restore all of my work events to my local calendar. Ideally, I don't
want anything on the exchange server; I want to kill that calendar
altogether (after getting all of my events off of it).

Set up a new custom view (or an advanced search) to look for events, set the
calendar selector to your exchange calendar, the selections criteria to
'category is none' AND 'category is not none'.

This view will display a listing of all events in the exchange calendar.

You can do a cmd-A to select all these events and drag them over to your
local calendar, then delete them from the exchange calendar.

Anyone know a way to remove EVERYTHING from my calendar.

Just Entourage not connected to Exchange yet.

I have hundreds of duplicates I need to trash.

Create a view with 'contains "a" or does not contain "a"'. This should
list all entries, allowing you to perform your spring cleaning.

But there already IS such a view, built in, in the Calendar area. It's
called (not surprisingly) "All Events". There's a new column there in SP2 -
Folder - for the separate calendars.

No, I actually want to delete all the events in my calendar.

Totally clear it out.

Not hide it.

Robin,

Select the "All My Events" calendar view under "Calendar Views". You can
then type Cmd-A to select all the events listed and click the Delete toolbar
button. Though I'd be careful here if you are trying just to delete events
in the Local calendar vs those on the Exchange server calendar. I've noticed
that other shared calendar's items are appearing in both "All Events" and
"All My Events" so you also might be attempting to delete other people's
calendar events (assuming you had the permission).

I'd recommend that if accessing other people's calendar that you disconnect
from them before doing any kind of "delete all" activity.

Do any delete all operation with caution and preferably with your database
backed up beforehand.

Great, thanks Barry. I actually did exactly that when I did some
experimenting after posting last nite. Glad to know I did it the right way.

One other question: Is there a way to setup a Custom Calendar view that
actually show the Calendar and not a list? For example, items in a certain
category with keywords, etc, etc? Haven't found a way to do that.

Much appreciated.

Interesting and seemed simple enough.

My main problem is I don't have a 'All My Events' view??????

I guess I would normally find this in the views down the left hand side?

I had things like Annually recurring, monthly recurring etc. but very little
else?

I did create a view first showing all future and then all past events but I
had to create it?

But thanks for the pointer.

10 It's actually called "All Events", and it's only in 2004, not X..If
you're in 2004 and deleted it, or if you're in X, you can (re-)create it:

File/New Custom View

Name: All Events

Item Types: ˆ Calendar event [only]

Match <if ANY criteria are met>

If
<Category> <Is> <None>
<Category> <Is not> <None>

If you upgraded an X or 2001 identity to 2004, you wouldn't have it either,
true.

Thanks.

I am on 2004 but did not have this view.

I have now created it.
