Set default or preferred calendar ??

All invitations that I accept are now going to the calendar "on my
computer" rather than my Exchange calendar. This is true even for
invitations sent from an Exchange account and accepted in my Exchange
account. I must locate them in "on my computer" calendar and then drag
them to my Exchange calendar.

Cancellations or updates to existing calendar events are being
disassociated from their original event.

Is there any way to set a default calendar and have Entourage simply
ignore the "on my computer" calendar that it has created?

Thanks

REALLY?

Vikette, if you discover how to set the default calendar, please let me
know. My behavior is exactly the opposite... all of my invitations go to the
Exchange calendar, and I want them to go to my local one.

Thank you in advance!

There is currently no setting for a default or preferred calendar as such.

On the other hand, for both contacts and events, the default location is
context sensitive. If your default mail account is an Exchange account, then
they will go onto that Exchange account's Contacts and Calendar folders. If
your default mail account is not an Exchange account, then they will go on
to the Local Address Book or Calendar.

Sorry Nathan, but not true.

My default account is a POP3 account, and all of my received invitations go
to the Exchange calendar, without exception.

That's how it should work. That's not how it works.

I've tried both with my default account being the POP account the
default account being the Exchange account, but the results are the
same either way. In both cases, the events are put on my "local'
calendar, not my Exchange calendar. I think the same is true for
contacts, although I have not tested that as carefully.

In my case, I don't want a "local" calendar. I want all events to go on
the Exchange calendar, which worked just fine until SP2.

It seems very odd not to be able to have any control over the events
calendar for new events.

There has *GOT* to be some kind of hack out there...some secret
Terminal command to disable the "On My Computer" calendar.  Microsoft,
please help us out!  I don't care if it's a nice neat checkbox in the
Preferences anymore as long as there is SOME WAY to get rid of it!
