Paul (& others),
Thanks for your suggestion, but I’m still having a small problem.
I’ve selected my Exchange account as my default account, and this corrected my problem with the Contacts & Calendar buttons defaulting to Exchange, and it even fixed my Calendar getting synchronized with my Treo, but it didn’t work for my contacts.
One additional thing I then tried doing was to change the “This contact is me” feature to my contact info on Exchange, but it doesn’t allow me to select that contact(seems to only work on a local account).
Are there any other suggestions? This is rough not having any contact information on my Treo. How are other people handling this?
Thanks so much,
Roger

The biggest surprise I got when installing SP2 is that all of a sudden, when I hit my Calendar & Contacts buttons in the upper left, nothing was there! Then I realized I needed to right click to choose my Exchange calendar and Exchange contacts. (Before SP2, I only had 1 calendar and 1 set of contacts). Not a big deal, but I would like to know if there is a way to more permanently designate a calendar and contacts to those buttons.But there is a way. For some reason this has not been publicized by MacBU ( not even to some of us who sometimes get "inside track" info). Palm Synching (as well as my sync scripts) actually sync to the calendar and address book associated with the default email address! If your default email address is a POP or IMAP account, it syncs to the local (On My Computer) calendar and address book. To get it to sync to the Exchange calendar and address book, change your default email address to your Exchange address, then sync. Then you can change it back if you want. And it will still sync Tasks and Notes.
So because of that, when I sync my Treo 600 (using Missing Sync), it syncs the blank calendar/contacts rather than the Exchange ones. I looked at the conduit and there is no way to select a specific calendar with it but I can’t, so I thought there might be something I could do with Entourage. Any suggestions?
My other problem is that my Entourage freezes about every 10-15minutes of use. I’ll get the beach ball OFTEN. Sometimes I can just wait it out and it’s fine, other times I have to force-quit my Entourage and restart it (I’ve had to do that 5 times today already). Could this just be a database rebuild issue?
It sounds more like an internet connection issue. Do you perhaps have a shared Project on an iDisk? If so, and you're in Tiger, go to System preferences/.Mac/iDisk and set .Mac to sync automatically. That problem will go away.
