So, has anyone else seen "stuff" move to 12/31/2031 with the introduction of 
s7? Please go there and have a look. Same thing with DateBk6 repeats by 12 
months by Day? Have things like Memorial Day (US) moved from the last Monday 
to the 26th (only an example depending on the day the repeat was created) of 
May? I think this was created by the roundtrip to Pimlical and the 
introduction of v s7.
===============================================================
I can only tell you that (a) no one else has reported this issue, and (b) 
the changes in s7 were so tiny and isolated, it would be very hard to 
believe they could have had anything to do with this issue. That being said, 
any time I open up a program to make a change, I always worry that I 
inadvertently 'jostle' some code by mistake, but 99.9% of the time if that 
happens, it causes a compile error - it's very rare that happens without 
getting flagged. And more times than I care to think about I've indicated 
that something could not possibly have affected something, and it has <g> - 
but people on this forum will probably grant that at least I'm usually more 
often right than wrong<g>.

You did mention in a prior email that you had changed your time zone, synced 
a bunch of items, CompanionLinked your data, and found that all your alarms 
had disappeared. Now that's VERY suspicious as no problem like that has ever 
been reported.

It sounds like something hiccoughed on one of the syncs - either with the 
Palm sync or the CompanionLink sync and if so, it's likely to have caused 
other issues as well.

Moving the date to 12/31/2031 would be something the Palm Software or 
CompanionLink software would do as that is the end date of the Palm 
calendar. Pimlical does not use that date at all as Pimlical's calendar runs 
from 1-jan-1900 through 31-dec-2099. If an item repeats forever, the repeat 
end date field is left BLANK - at no point does Pimlical ever write an 
explicit date of 31-Dec-2031, so that has to be either Palm or CompanionLink 
doing that.

Cheers!
