Hi hi

Not to sure if this is possible or not but can I have 2 different calendars on my HTC Vogue (Bell 6900). I want one for personal stuff and one for my game notes and events. (I play Final Fantasy XI). I want to keep these seperate and i am not to sure i can do that.

Hope this makes sense. Thank you

Can't help you, but I just wanted to say I use to play that game. I had to stop though....it was messing up my life

Lol yeah i hear you about it taking over your life. I am so addicted. Thats why i want the seperate calendar, to help it no take over as badly.

So many of us are waiting on FFIV, everyone is buzzing about it. Hopefully they will bring out more info on it soon so we can go crazy just that little bit more.

I think what you want is the "Filter" function. You can't have and synchronize two completely separate calendars (that I know of, anyway) but you can assign categories to your appointments either in Outlook or on your Windows Mobile device. Then open use the "Filter" option from the Menu in pocket Outlook to only view appointments in that particular category.

A lot of people (myself included) use this to keep Business and Personal categories separate, etc.

Pocket Outlook? I haven't heard of that program. Off i go hunting that one down. Thank you very much for the tip, this I think will be exactly what i need. Thank you kindly.

Hmm, I can't find Pocket Outlook. Any ideas where I might find it?

It's not a program you download -- it's just what they call the email/calendar/etc apps that come with Windows Mobile. Just open the calendar, open the menu, and select "Filter". Of course, you'll have to assign appropriate categories to your appointments so you'll have something to filter by first.

I had actually planned on doing a write up of how to do this. Here's how I do it:

-Sign up for an account on Google Calendars
-Sign up for an account at www.nuevasync.com and add your google calendar info
-Add nuevasync as your exchange server (Activesync)
-In Google Calendars, set up as many calendars as you need (notr, nuevasynce's free account is limited to 10 calendars)
-Enjoy seeing multiple calendars in poutlook

Cons:
-Cant use this solution if you already synce to an exchange server
-When adding events to your calendar from poutlook, events will only be added to your primary calendar (ie you cant add to a secondary calendar from poutlook)
-I havent found a way to differentiate the different calendar events in poutlook

This may or may not be what you're looking for (and might even be available straight from google sync) but if definitely works for me.
