RE: [PilotMgr] How to savely change range in SyncCM

["Bharat Mediratta" <bharat@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Christian --

Unless SyncCM has changed recently, I don't believe that this
is possible.

To make a long story short, SyncCM's philosophy is that the
Pilot is temporary storage and your desktop is permanent storage.
Every appointment on your pilot is synced against the desktop
and every appointment on your pilot must exist on the desktop.
However, by setting a date range you're specifying the range
of desktop appointments that you wish to be visible on your
Pilot.

Therefore, if you want the appointments to stay on your pilot
you have to sync the entire range every time.  This behaviour
could easily be changed if somebody was willing to hack SyncCM.
