is there a way to get a public folder to help in this problem? If we set up
a shared public folder, can I make that folder become the default delivery
location for each person, and thereby have Activesync basically sync with
that? Or is there a way to mirror in the default folder everything that
happens in a favorites public folder, which will then give offline
functionality for the public folder, which syncs up with the default folder,
which then syncs up with Activesync? Just trying to figure out some
workarounds.

have that folder serve as the one which then syncs with all of our
handhelds via Activesync.

I don't believe this is possible. ActiveSync will sync only with each
person's delivery location folders.

Not with ActiveSync. You can buy thrid-party sync tools that will allow
synching with multiple calendars, but your Windows Mobile device can't
really handle multiple calendars. The sync tool adds extra entries with
special characters in the names and categories in the entries to simulate
multiple calendars. One such tool is he

Nope. Public folders can never be delivery locations.

I agree with Brian to use third party tools. With coworkers we use
third party tool for calendar sharing. We wanted to use Exchange, but
then started to search for Outlook plugins. This one we found is
relatively cheep. It is called Share Outlook Calendar. I even have a
link from were we got it:
