Problem with Sync to Google Calendar
I’m having a minor problem when I sync my Outlook 2007 calendar with my
Google calendar. I can’t tell whether the problem is in Outlook, Google or the Google Calendar Sync utility (v0.9.3.5). I don’t know if this matters but my Google calendar pre-dates my use of Outlook. I’ve been using Google Calendar for over a year but just started using Outlook in the past couple of months. (Still an Outlook newbie.) I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit. I had a recurring event on my Google calendar for 10AM-12PM every Tuesday in May, 2010. That synced to Outlook with no problems. The event was cancelled so I deleted it. The deletion also synced. The event is no longer listed on either calendar and has not been for several weeks now. The problem: every time the sync utility runs the deleted event shows up in my Deleted Items folder in Outlook. If the sync utility runs five times the deleted event is in my Deleted Items folder five times. Each one lists the original subject of the event plus next to Recurrence it says: Occurs every Tuesday effective 5/4/2010 until 5/4/2010 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Again, this event has not been on my Google calendar or my Outlook calendar for several weeks yet it is obviously still hiding somewhere. Question: where is it hiding and how do I get rid of it? (I have no other problems with either calendar or syncing them.) Thanks Peter |

Outlook contains no settings or features that can control a sync. It is just a passive data store in thta regard. All synching is handled by the sync tool and I really believe the sync tool is producing the extra deleted events. However, it's unclear whether this is the sync tool's fault or a side-efect of how Google Calendar handles the deleted item. It could be that Google keeps the item in a hidden place rather than completely deleting it and the sync tool sees that place and so shows it to you by adding it to Outlook's Deleted Items folder. It could also be the sync tool retains the information somehow and puts it in Deleted Items. I just don't know enough about Google Calendar to say. I'm confident, however, that the fault does not lie with Outlook. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
