<![CDATA[<p>Can the plug-in software synchronize <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> calendars with Outlook?</p><p><span id="bodyfont"><p>Certain events in a <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> calendar can be synchronized with personal Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007 calendars. To use this capability, it is necessary to access <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> using the eRoom plug-in; this means that you cannot synchronize <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> with Outlook in any of our computing labs. </p>
<p>Also, not all calendars will synchronize events into Outlook, just those containing events that have you listed as a participant. To see whether a calendar is likely to synchronize, see if its events show up when you use the calendar's <span style="background-color: #cccccc">mine</span> and "view as a list" buttons, as described in the <a href="http://webcafe.wharton.upenn.edu/eRoomHelp/calendars.htm#to_show_just_your_events">"to show just your events"</a> section of the eRoom online help. </p>
<p>To set up synchronization, first make sure you have the plug-in installed and active (see our <a href="http://webcafe.wharton.upenn.edu/guide/plugin.html">tutorial</a> for tips). Then you can use the <a href="http://webcafe.wharton.upenn.edu/eRoomHelp/plugin.htm#to_add_items_for_synching_with_outlook">"add items for synchronizing"</a> instructions from the eRoom online help. </p>
<p>If no <font style="background-color: #cccccc">Add</font> button is available in your eRoom Monitor (plug-in control panel), it's possible that you did not "trust" <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> after installing your plug-in. Here's how to fix this:</p>
<p>First, temporarily deactivate your plug-in:</p>
<ul>
<li>If you were previously using <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em>, click on the <strong>my eRooms</strong> link at upper left below the <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> logo. If you had not been using <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em>, log on to any room or to <strong><a href="http://webcafe.wharton.upenn.edu/eRoom">my eRooms</a></strong>.</li>
<li>Click the <strong>my member info</strong> button.</li>
<li>This will bring up your member record, which includes a "Use the eRoom plug-in software" checkbox. Uncheck that checkbox, if necessary, and press <span style="background-color: #cccccc">OK</span>.; if you had to uncheck it, shut down and restart your computer (not necessary if that checkbox was not originally checked). </li>
</ul>
<p>Now, activate the plug-in as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Log on at <a href="http://webcafe.wharton.upenn.edu/eRoom"><strong>my eRooms</strong></a>, then click the <strong>my member info</strong> button.</li>
<li>Check the "Use the eRoom plug-in software" checkbox and press <span style="background-color: #cccccc">OK</span>.</li>
<li>You should now be prompted with an "eRoom Warning" window. </li>
</ul>
<p> <img alt="eRoom Warning popup - answer Yes to this" src="http://supportcenteronline.com/FileManagement/Download/4b6fa96e05b445edb34fb1ba521982bf" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Answer <em>Yes</em> to this. </li>
</ul>
<p>The "Add" button in eRoom Client Settings should now be active, making it possible to use the <a href="http://webcafe.wharton.upenn.edu/eRoomHelp/plugin.htm#to_add_items_for_synching_with_outlook">"add items for synchronizing"</a> instructions from the eRoom online help.</p>
