Outlook & Blackberry PDA

[Gilles Desjardins]

I have a friend that has the following question: When a PDA user
synchronizes with Outlook XP all the "full day events" DO NOT show busy. I
know they are not meetings, is that why?
TIA

All day events are shown as "free" by default in Outlook 2002 (and all
the other versions too, as far as I know). I guess the reasoning is
that all day events are usually used for holidays, birthdays, or things
that are more like reminders than actual blocks of time, and you
wouldn't necessarily want your whole day blocked out as "busy" just
because it's someone else's birthday So, the only workarounds for
this are to either mark an actual block of time for the event (say, 6:00
AM to 10:00 PM), or to manually mark the all day events as Busy.
