Multiple calendars

How do I deal with multiple calendars? I have one in my MS Exchange inbox, but I wish to use the one that is part of my personal folder (.pst file). Where is the setting that selects which is the 'active' calendar, and can the other calendar be removed?

A second problem that may be related, is that if I create an appointment in the calendar that is a part of the personal folder, I get the following message when it is saved:

'The reminder for '.....' will not appear because the item is not in your Calendar or Tasks folder. Is this OK?'

But it IS in the calendar folder!

FYI:
We recently had a corrupt priv.edb file. I went to recover it from a backup tape but found that it had never been backed up! The reason for this was that as all MS Exchange mailboxes reside the same file (priv.edb) it took only one individual to have outlook open during a backup to render the file open and thus locked out from the backup.

So to minimise data loss should we ever have a corrupt priv.edb file I have suggested that all staff set up a rule to move all email to their own personal folder (.pst file) as it arrives. Your suggestion about delivery location effectively does this. I had originally thought this would not work; that MS Exchange would insist on delivering the email to the MS exchange mailboxes (ie. Priv.edb). In fact email does still arrive in the Exchange mailbox but it is immediately moved to the personal folder, as though it was done with a ?rule?.

And yes, the calendar in the personal folder does operate properly now.

Thanks!
