Sync Outlook and multiple Google Calendars with Remote Calendars

Remote Calendars
Google Calendar Sync does a decent job of letting you synchronize Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar - if you only have a single Google Calendar you want to synchronize. But if you keep separate Google Calendars for work, personal appointments, or other activities then Google Calendar Sync is of limited use, since it will only synchronize your primary calendar.

But where there's a will, there's a third party plugin. Remote Calendars is an open source add-on for Outlook 2003 and 2007 that lets you subscribe to any online calendar that uses the iCal format. And that includes Google Calendar.

Installation is a bit tricky. Once you download and unzip Remote Calendars, make sure to open the Prerequisites folder and run both applications (or better yet, read the instructions) before running the Remote Calendars setup utility. You'll know it worked if you're greeted with a configuration screen the next time you run Outlook.

Once Remote Calendars is installed you should see a new toolbar in Outlook that lets you add or remove remote calendars. You can copy and paste the URL found in your Google Calendar settings.
