SharePoint 2010 calendar sync

hi all i just created a test appointment on a team calendar using my name but i go to my calendar and the appointment hasnt been added there, i press connect to outlook and i can see the two calendars side by side but youd think that sharepoint would put the entry into your personal calendar as it syncs

can this be done or is it a limitation?

Thanks

It is a separate calendar, but items can be copied from one to the other. If you want to have something that is more automatic you will need to do some coding.  An example is below, but you would know best how you want it to function and would need to adjust the code accordingly.

it doesn't actually sync like your thinking, it places a shared calendar into your outlook (A second one), its just shared and linked to the sharepoint calendar.

so if i followed the tut in that url...

say i added an appointment to sharepoint for myself, would the appointment sync to my mailbox calendar?

thats what im after, you think theyd have that inc by default, elsewise your creating two appointments for yourself all the time

so what if i book an appointment for myself on the group calendar and it conflicts with another appointment, maybe on another calendar or my personal calendar

or i want to see my appointments id have to open a multitude of calendars to see where im at, or spend alot of time copy and pasting appointments across calendars (for instance if im a manager of more thatn one team and have appointments for both)

dont think its very well thought of in those respects, what do you think?
