I'm afraid I can't answer the question, but I'd like to add to it -- I'd like to be able to delete past appointments by category; I want to be able to look back at past travel reservations, but have no need to keep a record of what stupid TV programs I reminded myself to watch.
I have an app onboard my iPAQ 3845 that I could not locate at any software site or with a Google search that does just what you need.
It's called 'QuickCleanUp'. It creates an additional menu item in the 'Tools' menu of Pocket Outlook's Calendar on the PPC. It allows for a range of date's appointments and calendar events to be deleted at once.
Developer's email is listed as: fjvelasco2000@netscape.net in case you wish to write to see if the app is still available.
For situations like this, I find that deleting them in Outlook and then syncing is the best option. Outlook (in my opinion) is much more versatile for bulk effect than most PPC methods.
I don't know the specs of your iPAQ and I discovered that the email for the developer seems defunct; an email bounced back as 'unknown'.
I found this app useful to delete a large range of dates' calendar events such as the past two years. For a few at a time such an app may not be needed.
For an IPAQ 22xx download the ARM (.cab) file. Copy it to your device and then double click on it using whatever file-explorer you're using to install.
Alternatively, i know pocket informant lets you search and delete calender (and other outlook thingys) en masse. Not sure about agenda afusion as i haven't used it.
I used this regularly with my Jornada... as long as you are careful with the dates to delete, it works very well. Haven't had the chance on the 2210 as yet.
The .dll add-in looks promising -- though there is a stand alone program too.
I there is an option that allows you to select how much information you carry over with your sync. On mine I am only carrying over the last 2 weeks of appointments and all future ones...
