Thanks for that, great suggestion. Now I’m glad I installed MS Office 32-bit and not 64-bit, as the sync utility doesn’t work with 64-bit…

The Google Cal-Outlook sync works fine except that first I chose 2-way sync and Outlook now populated the event descriptions in Google Cal with some ugly code. I suppose I’ll have to choose to 1-way Google Cal to Outlook sync to put an end to that…

I’ve used 2-way sync for ages with no problem. Otherwise it would have been useless for me at least until recently, when I started using the Google interface almost 100% of my desktop time.
Could the codes have to do with some special characters?

No, I’m not using any special characters. Anyway, it’s not a big deal, I only need Outlook as the back-up, otherwise I don’t use it all.

I’ve stayed with Outlook for backing up my Google Calendar data, but I’ve just come across this additional utility (haven’t tried it yet):
