DEAR KEN -

THANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGING MY SUPPORT POSTING.
I WAS PREVIOUSLY UNAWARE OF THIS LIMITATION (is limitation of device or of WinMo 2003 ?)
 (likely because most of my entries are made in Entourage on the computer)
  SO I TRIED TO CREATE THIS SAME TYPE OF EVENT "2-DAY RECURRING w/ALARM"
  ON THE SAMSUNG i730 DEVICE (WinMo 2003) TO REPRODUCE & SEE THE ERROR MYSELF.

HOWEVER,  I *WAS*  ABLE TO CREATE AN 30 MINUTE-EVENT-WITH-AN-ALARM WHICH
   OCCURS TODAY AND RE-OCCURS TOMORROW.  THE EVENT APPEARED CORRECTLY ON
   THE HANDHELD'S CALENDAR AND THE ALARM FOR THE FIRST EVENT (Today's) SOUNDED. !?

WHAT AM I MISSING OR NOT UNDERSTANDING ?

KEN, 
 I DON'T THINK THIS TYPE OF EVENT IS THAT STRANGE OR UNIQUE AT ALL !!!
 I BELIEVE IT WOULD CREATE MORE PROBLEMS TRYING TO EDITED ONE INSTANCE IN 
 A RECURRING SERIES (TRYING TO TURN THE 2ND ALARM OFF WHILE KEEPING THE FIRST).
 THINK I RECALL READING THAT CHANGING ONE INSTANCE IN A SERIES WILL RESULT IN
    THE LINK IN THE SERIES BEING LOST AFTER SYNCING.  SO I WANTED TO AVOID THAT.
