From: Michael Michael on 28 May 2010 00:09 I hope someone can help. In my outlook calendar I have a reoccurring event (daily) that I add information to, usually on a daily basis. However, as its a repeated event, wehn I sync this to my phone the added text DOES NOT sync across......Can someone please advise me whether I can do this or not? The same problem occurs if I add info (text) to the same reoccuring event on my phone and then try and sync with my PC Outlook Calendar. It works fine if its a standalone event.... Regards Michael.
From: Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] on 28 May 2010 02:03 AFAIK, you cannot sync the additional notes as the recurring appt. is actually a single instance that has a recurrence pattern. It is not a series of distinct events that can be synched individually. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. ALWAYS post your Outlook version.

Despite how they look, recurring events are single items in your calendar. When you modify one occurrence, you are instructing Outlook to add an exception to that event, and Outlook keeps that list of exceptions and applies them when it displays the occurrence. Apparently, whatever software you use to sync cannot handle the exceptions. That's simply a fact you'll have to live with. Your approach has other consequences, though. If for some reason you must change the event, anything you change that affects the series will cause all exceptions to be erased and the recurrences regenerated afresh. This will remove all of those notes you've entered for the various occurrences. Are you sure you're willing to run this risk? You may be better off making a series of discreet events so they are all individual entries on the calendar. You can then change any of them and not be concerned that a modification can wipe them all out. Make your series of events, say, a year's worth and then you can add more when you wish. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
