Quote HTC Sync for all HTC Android phones
You can use HTC Sync™ to synchronize content between your phone and your PC, including Outlook contacts and calendar entries, Outlook Express contacts, and the bookmarks from your web browser.

I've installed 'HTC Sync' so I am able to sync my phone/PC calendars and also sync my HTC 'People' (contacts) and Outlook Contacts. I do this by connecting the phone to the PC via the USB cable. It works OK.
Whilst I'm away from the PC I often add calendar entries and 'People' on my HTC phone. At home I tend to add entries whilst I'm on the PC. Although I need to test it, I think I can sync phone > PC and PC > phone so keeping both up to date but this is only at home using the USB link.
I want to be able to do away with the USB thing if I can so that I get an automatic sync that happens when ever I update either Calendar/Contacts/People. I have 'Google Calendar' as well now and have installed 'Google Calendar Sync'. I did this because I saw on a web page that this would enable an automatic sync operation. So I guess I'm trying to use it as an intermediary. It doesn't work for me, unfortunately!
I'm not sure how to check in my HTC settings to see if they are linking to the correct Outlook folder so any help here would be useful

- MS Outlook <-> Google Calendar
- HTC <-> Google Calendar
Is the problem with the first of these, with the second or with both?

1 I have HTC Sync and Google Calendar Sync installed on my PC.
2 On my PC I can sync Google Calendar with Outlook both ways using Google Calendar Sync.
3 I can sync from my phone (and back from the PC) to/from both Outlook and Google Calendar simultaneously using HTC Sync/Google Calendar Sync (using USB link).
It looks like there is no way that I can do a sync 'through the ether' without the USB connection from phone to PC or PC to phone, which is what I really wanted to do. I guess I will ditch either Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar and just do a regular phone to PC or PC to phone sync with HTC Sync and USB link.
If you know a way that I can sync remotely, then please let me know!
The posts have been very helpful in guiding me through what can and can't be achieved.

If it were working calendar updating between phone and Outlook might not be instantaneous, but should occur within one synchronisation cycle of the devices.

Thanks for spotting that one. I thought that I had covered all options. I've just run through a test as follows:
Event recorded in HTC phone calendar > phone connected via USB to PC and HTC Sync run. > Event appeared first in Outlook but then it also appeared in Google Calendar as the auto refresh cycle came round. It does work but I can only say that it does, via Outlook.
I ran a second test:
Event recorded in phone calendar > shut down Outlook > run HTC Sync > No event appeared in Google Calendar even when refresh forced > Opened Outlook > Run HTC Sync > Event appeared in Outlook > Event appeared in Google Calendar on refresh.
It may be that I am missing something and HTC will sync directly to Google but I can't see how.
I thought I had specified a timed cycle for the Google Calendar to refresh (It was an option when I did the download/install). Do you know how I check/change the refresh cycle? I couldn't find the option to do this after initial set up.

I'm not sure what model of HTC phone you have but I found the following note (second paragraph) in HTC Desire help
Quote Signing in to your Google Account lets you sync Gmail and your Google contacts and calendars between your phone and the Web. You also need to sign in to a Google Account to use Google apps such as Google Talk and Android Market™.
Note: If you skipped signing in to a Google Account when you first set up your phone, you may encounter problems when using some Google apps. If these problems persist, you may need to factory reset your phone and enter your Google Account details when you set up the phone again.
