[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Syncing All Day Free Time Appointments with Notes

[Richard Peat]

Hi,

I'm having problems syncing all day appointments that are set to Free 
Time on the Pocket PC (using Pocket Informant).

Initially my iCal setup included a subscription to a calendar that has 
daily, all day events, to which are attached notes. As with all other 
events going over to the Pocket PC they appeared on the Pocket PC as 
Busy. As a result I used Pocket Informant to change the status of all 
of them to Free Time.

However when I next ran iSync, it identified that all of them had 
changed, and reset the status on all 365 of them on the Pocket PC to 
Busy.

I assumed this was to do with the subscribed calendar, so I copied the 
calendar locally and tried again, changing the status of all of them to 
Free, but when I ran iSync, all of them were identified as changed and 
the status set back to Busy.

I've run a couple of other tests with creating all day appointments on 
both the Pocket PC, and also on iCal, and in both cases the status 
always reverts to Busy on the Pocket PC during a sync if there is a 
note attached to the event. The status also cannot be changed for any 
all day events coming from a subscribed calendar, again the status is 
changed back to busy when a sync occurs.

Currently I've got around the problem by removing the calendar from the 
list in iSync, however is there any way that I can force the events to 
stay as free time at the Pocket PC end without removing the calendar 
from sync?

Regards,
