Calender Integration

Welcome to the flakey world of the Microsoft Office Calendar Synchronisation (MOCI)!!!

This function has been slightly cagey for years, you are lucky to have it functioning one way. Its very tempremental, will not synch one way or the other and not both, and sometimes not at all.
You will also notice if you place an appointment in another users calendar it will actually end up in you own Outlook Calendar. Multiple user appointments are also an issue.

Due to its inconsistency we do dont promote it as a feature and state to any customers that we cannot guarantee it functioning 'as advertised'.

I understand Maximizer are in the process of re-writing the MOCI function from scratch for its next release (v.9)

If you go go a computer that is that is active under another users login and then login under your Maximizer login, you well may discover that any appointments you make via Maximizer appear in both your calendar and that of the computer's logged in user. This is particularly so if you have Maximizer preferences set to override Outlook. To avoid this merger of appointments in separate calendars, you simply log in to the computer as you, then log in to maximizer as you. Note that this mixing of logins can be responsible for generating duplicate appointments in a calendar. I have seem thousands of duplicate tasks results from this mixing of logins. This appeared the case with the combined use of Maximizer 11, Windows XP Pro and Office 2007.

You are correct in suggesting that you need to be very careful when using Maximizers Outlook calendar synchronisation if you regularly use more than 1 computer and especially if one of those computers is also a MaxExchange remote.

The best advice if you are using Microsoft Exchange is to implement MaxSync which performs server based synchronisation and minimizes the confusion which can arise from the built-in client side synchronisation system. If you do not have this option then considerable care is required.
