Re: CLue to duplicate appts.

[Robin Jeffries <Robin.Jeffries@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I'll admit that I also sync in multiple machines, but I definitely 
don't understand why it should lead to the problems I see.  I have to 
sync with my PC, because its the only place that will backup 
everything on my pilot.  I set the PC to "pilot overrides desktop", so 
all the dates should be the same, whatever they are. On the Solaris 
box I do a full merge.  

The explanation of the archive dates doesn't make sense to me.  If 
this were the problem, then I should have it with all my appointments, 
not just with a random few.  In particular, it shouldn't take the same 
3 appointments (out of 997) and change their status on every sync.  
This has to be a bug, and I don't see how it can relate to the 
multiple syncs.

|you are quite right.. if you sync to more than one machine you should
