Actually, it isn't DateBk that doesn't support it, it is the entire  
datebook mechanism on the devices. There isn't anything we can do  
about it. What we recommend is that you get in the habit of creating  
single day events that repeat for several days; these will sync fine.

We did investigate this, but what you're talking about would require  
us to modify the event before sending it to the handheld and then  
when it comes back from the handheld, we'd have no idea what to do  
since it wouldn't match the original event. Furthermore, if you did a  
slow sync, the events wouldn't match up.
