Hi,

I'm still new to Entourage, so I'm sorry if these questions are either basic or obvious.

I created an event in iCal and wanted to quickly syc it with Entourage but couldn't do it. When I went to the help screen it showed me where the command is but that same key wasn't highlighted (so I couldn't sync) and I'm wondering how often Entourage syncs with iCal and if I have any control over it.

I like iCal because I can open files for an alarm (usually iTunes). It would be really helpful if Entourage could do the same thing. Is there a way to upload my own alarm sounds OR have Entourage open a file at a certain time?

Well the process is governed by the Sync Services. We have no control
over it and I'm not sure how often it syncs. Within minutes
definitively.

Yeah, I don't think you can currently do this,

Thanks for the reply. I figured out that I can just go into iCal and edit that alarm so that it opens the file I want. It's an extra step but I'll live.
