Outlook Calendar and T5

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

I've just had to reinstall everything on my hard drive. While
doing so, I installed all Windows patches and also those for Office
XP, including Outlook. So I am now running Outlook 2002, SP3.

I also installed the updated Palm Desktop software, the updated
Outlook conduit and I installed the updated Palm software onto the
handheld.

The Outlook calendar gave about 5 error messages and
synchronization kept failing. I searched Palm support.

I finally got results by changing and/or deleting every single
appt. in my Outlook calendar which spanned more than one day. This
is listed on the PalmOne support site as a "fix". Needless to say
this took a lot of time and was a very tedious process.

Going forward - is it possible to enter appts into Outlook that
span more than one day and still be able to synch. Or, do I have
to enter each day separately?

Has anyone else dealt with this preposterous situation?

TIA

Louise

Thanks - I thought that was a great idea until I went into Outlook
2002 and "tried" to make it happen:-)

I used the "recurring" icon but when I tried to set the parameters,
I/it got all confused. Told me I couldn't enter an appt. after a
recurrence or a recurrance before appt. parameter, or various other
incomprhensible messages - all stating clearly that I didn't do it
to Outlook's specs.

Do you happen to know exactly which boxes get checked and in what
order?

Thanks again.
