Calendar Items Not Visible

[KellyP]

Its a HP Ipaq HW6515.
Calendar items seem to sync okay (there are no errors and when I sync the whole calendar, ie 1500 items, it takes a while and displays progress). There are no items visible in the calendar on the IPAQ. If I create a new item on the IPAQ, it syncs back to the mailbox without any dramas.

When I go “find” and search the calendar, no items appear, and I tried to clear any categories it may be viewing by but the only option under Tools in Calendar is “Options”, which then only has options about first day of the week, week view and reminder about appointments.

This has only been the case since the trust relationship was reestablished last week (and Active sync was upgraded from 3.8 to 4.2). I have tried deleting and reestablishing the trust relationship and also downgrading Activesync.

One other thing, when the trust relationship was set up last week, the regional settings for the IPAQ weren’t set correctly – they were MM/DD/YYYY and where we are (and on the laptop) its DD/MM/YYYY.

Any ideas at all would be greatly appreciated – I’m stumped!

Ah, I think this may be related to the fact that AS4.2 (while it works) isn't really meant to be used with non-Windows Mobile 5 devices. Why don'y you try removing AS 4.2 and reinstalling AS3.8?

Hi hishamh

I uninstalled it and went back to 3.8 and reestablished the trust rel with no success. Do you think a reset would help? Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks

...I tried to clear any categories it may be viewing by but the only option under Tools in Calendar is “Options”...

How about selecting ALL categories, and see if that helps.

When I go into Calendar on the IPAQ, there is "Tools" menu, but the only option within it is "Options", and this only contains options about the first day of the week, half hour appointments, etc - I can't see anywhere on the IPAQ where I can view/filter by categories.

Thanks again

That's odd - on my device, the category link is in the Tools menu right below Options. Do any of the categories appear in Outlook on your PC?

[KellyP]

I did a little experiment and added various appts to different categories with no luck.

But there is definitely nothing below Tools in Options...! I wonder what that means? I might call HP today if I have six hours and some patience spare :lol:

Thanks again

Good luck! Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Thanks for your suggestions anyway !
