I'm going to need some serious creativity here...

What I have:
Home computer, Outlook 2002
PDA, Windows Mobile 5, Pocket Outlook
Work computer, Outlook 2003

What I want:
My home computer and PDA are synced and I want to add the appointments
from my work computer to my home computer (and PDA).

Limitations:
Import/Export is disabled on my work computer
I can't save *.pst files on my work computer
Exporting my work calendar as an iCal (using http://outlook2ical.sourceforge.net/)
results in import error
I can't install any 3rd party apps on my work computer (but macros are
okay)
I don't want to sync my PDA with my work computer because I don't want
all my personal appointments on my work calendar

Any ideas or am I asking the impossible?

TIA

Sync your PDA with your work PC as well.  That's what I do.

Temporarily create a second calendar at home and move your default calendar
contents to it.  This will empty the PDA.  Then sync the PDA with work,
which should load it with the work calendar, if you set the partnership up
correctly.  Resync with the home PC, which will bring the work appointments
home.  Then move the contents of the second calendar back to the default
calendar.  You'll now have a home calendar with the contents of home and
work.

Hmm, that would work for a one-time (or very rare) sync.  But I'd have
to plan ahead if I wanted to sync at work...take everything off the
PDA the night before, deal with a blank PDA for the day, sync at
work...

I'm looking for an option that will allow me to update daily or at
least every few days.

If you have an SD card in your PDA, take your work data store home with you
in the PDA and copy it to your home PC, then use it there.
