Originally, I had my computer set for Pacific time. Then I moved to the East
Coast, changed the settings on my computer but forgot to change the time zone
on my PDA. When I synced the PDA, all of my recurring events now overalap
unto two days. I changed the PDA to Eastern time, synced again, but it wont
fix the problem. I tried opening an event series and change the time zone,
but althogh the "time zones" button is pressed, there is no where to change
settings. I can only change "time zones" settings if I open the series as a
single event. Please help! My whole calendar is screwed up and I don't know
how to fix it. Thank you!!!

Are the times on your PDA correct now? If so, I would delete everything in
the Calendar in Outlook (if you're worried, create a new Calendar folder and
move everything there, just in case), then make sure your Outlook and Windows
time zone settings are correct, then sync the PDA with Outlook again.

Jocelyn,

Yes, however, anything that I delete on my outlook calendar gets deleted
from my PDA. How do I avoid that or how do I make it so that I delete
everything in Calendar and impose all data from my PDA Calendar?

Does your sync software have an option for "Handheld overwrites desktop" or
something similar? If so, then the handheld entries would overwrite anything
on the desktop....it wouldn't really be a sync, more like a copy.

I am using Microsoft Active Sync and I don't see any feature allowing me to
overwright PC with PDA content. Does it have this feature? Is there another
sync software that would solve this problem? Thanks very much.

In that case you might want to post to an ActiveSync newsgroup and see if
such an option exists. Unfortunately I don't have a Windows Mobile-based PDA
and I don't use ActiveSync so I have no idea how it works. Palm's conduits
with Outlook (and Chapura PocketMirror's) offer a "Handheld overwrites
desktop" option.

Joceyln,

I have been looking for the ActiveSync community post and cannot find it.
Do you know where I can post this question so that I may resolve this most
tedious problem? I thank you very much.

When you create the partnership is when you determine which device has
precedence.

So, Could I delete the partnership, establish it once more with PDA
overwright to impose data on Calendar. Then delete partnership and establish
it again with normal overwrite coming from both sides. Woudl this work?
