I have been using Palm devices in which you can have seperate calendars in
the program so several devices can sync with the same program. I am
switching to pocket PC device. Can I do the same thing with outlook? I have
an employee who enters our schedule on one computer that we sync to.

Thanks

Windows Mobile has a single calendar. It will sync to two desktop devices,
but that will cause the two desktop calendars to contain the same things.
There may be alternative calendars available for third-party vendors. See

Mobile-oriented forums. One such is

Thank you for your response. I am wondering about syncing multiple devices
to one outlook program with seperate calanders for each device. I don't want
multiple calanders on the handheld. I guess I want to know if the handheld
will sync to its own folder in outlook or will it sync to the same calander
as the other devices.

Sorry. I misinterpreted what you were asking.

You can sync single or multiple PDAs to multiple calendars provided you use
separate mail profiles and enable to option to ask which profile is to be
used. When you cradle the PDA and Outlook is NOT open, you'll be prompted
for which mail profile is to be used. If the profiles reference separate
delivery locations, then you'll sync to the calendar in the delivery
location for that profile. If you're using PSTs as delivery locations, you
can see those multiple calendars in a common profile by adding the delivery
location PST of one profile to another profile as a secondary PST.
