Please log in for more thread options Well Milly,
I don't think you understood the question. I have hundreds of users who have
been importing my specialized calendar data into Outlook for each of the
past several years. There have been no instances of lost data, and the
capability has been consistent for the past four years. What has NOT been
consistent has been the sync function between Outlook and Windows Mobile.
Syncing with mobile 4: no problem. Syncing with Mobile 5 omits imported data
unless the user selects an option to sync all events. But, if the option is
selected, the data syncs fine. Now, Mobile 6 seems to have done away with
that "all events" option altogether. However, while we are on the subject of
Outlook data, and since you say importing is never the correct way to move
Outlook data, may I ask WHAT IS the correct way to move outlook data? And
what would be the correct way to add 365 all day events to an Outlook
calendar -- without using the import function?
