[missing-sync-palmos-talk] observation on syncing repeating events

[David Turley]

I spent a confusing 20 minutes this morning till I figure this out,  
so I'm posting this in case it helps someone else.

My wife got a Z22 for Christmas and has been syncing iCal and Address  
Book with M/S without problems. She had a weekly repeating event in  
iCal, which she deleted this morning. When she did a sync the event  
still showed in the Palm. So we did it again. Still right there at  
4pm today in the Palm, but it wasn't in iCal. So I did a desktop  
overwrites device sync. The event was still on the Z22! I went ahead  
and deleted the event on the device and figured I ask here when I got  
a chance. Then I started looking at her entries in iCal. The original  
event was a weekly repeat with a end date in the future. When she  
deleted the even in iCal, she deleted all the future occurrences from  
today on. Apparently Missing Sync / Palm was reading the ending date  
of the repeat and inserting an entry. In iCal the event wasn't  
displayed.

So it appears there's a conflict if a repeating event has an end date  
but some of the events are deleted before that date.
