Revo Agenda and recurring appointments

[pask]

When sync'ing my Agenda (Revo+) and Outlook Calendar (Outlook 2000) my recurring appointments do not show up on my Revo (only the first/initial appointment is sync'ed properly)

The problem only exists for recurring "All day events", while recurring appointments with a start and end time works fine.

1. Do you have any ideas how to solve this?
2. Is it possible to register recurring appointments directly on my Revo (instead of sync'ing them from Outlook)?

I don't know of a bug synching recurring appointments, and yes you can set-up a recurring appointment your revo.

Set-up one appointment.
Go to Menu > Entry > Set Repeat

I have no trouble syncing recurring appts from Outlook 98, but there is, of course, a slight bug with recurring tasks from either direction.

Recurring tasks that are crossed out on the Revo are not crossed out in Outlook, and vice versa. I can live with that, though.

Thanks for your replays.

I only have trouble when syncing "All day events" from Outlook.
The initial item is then synced okay, and ends up as an event on my Revo, but no recurrences are registered.

And when trying to set up a recurring Event (not a Day entry) by using the Set Repeat-command on my Revo, I get an error message - "Events cannot repeat".

So to me it seems like repeated events is not possible on Revo, which in case is too bad since I have quite a few of these in my calendar.

Does anybody know a work-around for this?

Absolutly right. I guess I never tried to repeat an event before. I can see how to repeat a day entry and different repeat options for an anniversary (learnt something there), but not an event. Sorry, I look forward to reading the soltution, if there is one.

You could make the Event a zero-duration appointment (i.e., start and end at the same time) and recur it that way...

Instead of an Event type entry, use an Untimed Day entry (remove the checkmark from the "Timed entry" box). The primary differences between an Event and an Untimed Day entry are (1) an Event can span multiple days, and (2) an Event displays the Flag iconette.

You can precisely control the time slot where the Untimed entry appears by first saving it as a Timed Day entry (for example at 1:00am), and then changing it to an Untimed Day entry.
