Listmembers: Because my phone subscription lasts another year and phones without subscriptions are extremely expensive in the Netherlands, I will not be able to go to Pimlical/A in the near future. I will have to make do with my trusty old Palm TX. I'm experiencing major issues with items copied on DateBk6. Especially this week, which is the week when all managers start issuing appointments for meetings in the next half year to a year. Because there are slight variations between the appointments, such as location, weekday or time, I just take an existing similar appointment and start copying that one to all future dates, making the variations as I go. This works very well for me as I don't need to have the appointments linked. As I was doing this, I noticed however that DateBk6 copies everything that is in the original note-field of the appointment, including the invisible Pimlical-specific tags. For the most part, this is not a problem, but what is a problem, is that it also copies the unique ID that was in the original appointment to all new ones. This only becomes noticeable after HotSync, running Pimlical and synchronizing to Google more than once. Suddenly, it starts complaining about duplicate entries and in Google Calendar, I only see one of the appointments that was used/copied. As the 'find duplicates' does not seem to detect these cases, I have so far found no other solution except using the built-in Calendar of my TX to look in the notes, copy the UID, search for it and manually remove the UID, modified and created-tags from every single copied appointment. Likewise I have removed all UID, created and modified tags from all my templates as they too seem to suffer from this issue. -- Greetings, Maurice Pimlical v1.3.15, Java v6.0.220.4, Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 ------------------------------------ For information about trying and purchasing Pimlical: http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/pimlicalpreview.htm To download latest version of Pimlical: http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/pimlical.msi Neither Pimlico, the developer, nor the list owner is responsible for content.
