Okay Folks,
I have the solution that works perfect! I am not an IT guy, but I refuse to be thrashed about by such an inept reality as not being able to adequately synch and edit calendars with my exchange server and Outlook.
My biggest gripe has been the inability to edit calendar events on the Droid X that were created on Outlook. In my case (which is probably yours too), I was able to edit events created on the handheld (either in Outlook or the handheld), but if created on Outlook, I could only edit them in outlook. The choice on the handheld (Droid X) was to delete it - ONLY!
So here's the trick, and it works perfectly:
Synch your handheld calendar with gmail.
De-select on your handheld the option of synching your calendar with your exchange server.
Have your outlook synch with your exchange server.
With these settings, you do not get double events, and you are able to edit to your hearts delight on the handheld. AND....because you are still tied into the exchange through your Outlook, folks can still see your calendar for scheduling meetings.
These setting allowed me to uninstall Touchdown, which worked but was a pain (I used it only to edit events. How silly.)
I hope this all makes sense.
Good luck!
