[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Re: unexplainable event-syncing behaviour with new calendar

[J Irving]

Hello

I have upgraded to 5.1.1 and still this problem persists.  I can add a
little more detail:

1. Create new calendar
2. Populate with a weekly repeating event which ends a 9 months from
now, 1 hr duration.
3. Change 5 or 6 of the repeating events (without changing the rest)
4. Delete 4 or 5 of the repeating events.
5. Add come unrelated standalone events (untimed events).
6. Sync the device.

The result is that the *modified* (and therefore now standalone)
events from the original repeating events are present, in the new
calendar (appropriately named) on the treo, as well as the untimed
standalone events.  But *none* of the repeating events which were
unmodified show up in the treo.

This is very odd, particularly since other weekly events in other
calendars have sync'd fine.

Anyone else seen this?  Anyone from MS care to comment?  I see lots of
discussion about problems with events that span multiple days (I
noticed that those have come through to my treo as zero-duration
events), but you suggest creating repeating events as a workaround...

TIA
cheers
