Task syncing

J

James Minor

I've just discovered an issue when I sync Entourage to my Treo 650.
Basically what happens is the sync resets any recurring tasks... Example...
If I set a task for weekly on Monday, wed, and Fri, with no end date, the
sync will reset the task to daily, with an in date of "after 10" occurences.
Is this just more of the Microsoft/Palm issues that myself and other users
are experiencing? Or has anyone found a fix?

1. You haven't said which direction this happens. Are you making the
recurring task in Entourage, or on the Palm? Does it change only on the
"other" app, or also on the original app after a Palm sync?

2. You haven't said if you're using the Entourage Conduit, or if you're
using the new SyncServices feature of 11.2.3 along with MissingSync Conduit
for iCal. (I have not seen this happen with the Entourage Conduit, so if
SyncServices is the problem., you could move back to using the Entourage
conduit.)

Thanks for replying...

Here's an example: I originally set up the tasks in Entourage to be on
Monday-Friday with no end date. When it syncs to the Palm, the Palm loses
the recurrence. Upon another sync, the recurrence changes to Daily (with no
number listed) with an end after 88 occurrences in Entourage.

I am using the Microsoft Entourage conduit with 11.2.3 update, through
Missing Sync 5.1.

Thanks again!
