odd behavior

[slp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

In a previous email, I wrote that I was seeing the following anomalous
behavior (Note: my desktop calendar manager is the Openwin calendar
manager not the CDE calendar manager):

> Odd behavior number 1:
> When I delete an appointment from the palm pilot, then configure
> SyncCM to "Pilot overwrites Desktop" and do the sync, the appointment
> is not deleted from the Desktop calendar manager.
> 
> Odd behavior number 2:
> I delete an appointment from both the Desktop calendar manager and
> the palm pilot manually.  I then configure SyncCM to "Desktop
> overwrites Pilot" and perform the sync.  The deleted appointment
> then reappears in the Pilot.
> 
> Odd behavior number 3:
> I've noticed that the smart feature of SyncCM, where it only updates the
> new appointments, doesn't appear to work in my environment.  I always
> put my appointments in my palm pilot and then have the Pilot overwrite

> operation, all the appointments in the desktop calendar get completely
> deleted and then they are all put back along with the new appointment.
> The PilotManager GUI reports that it created a large number of records
> on the desktop even though only one new record was added to the palm
> pilot prior to sync.

In case anyone else was seeing something similar, I thought I'd let
folks know that all of this went away when I changed the selection
under "Type of Sync" in the SyncCM configuration from "Pilot
overwrites Desktop" or "Desktop overwrites Pilot" to "Full Merge". The
tool works great now.
