Avoiding problems when using Oracle Calendar Sync
The following items are known to create problems for PalmPilot users.
- Do not create and modify repeating entries using your PalmPilot. Repeating Events created with the PalmPilot cannot be synchronized with Oracle Calendar/CorporateTime; however, repeating Entries created with Oracle Calendar/CorporateTime can be properly synchronized with the PalmPilot.
- Only synchronize the PalmPilot with your on-line Agenda. Synchronizing with the off-line Agenda can (and usually does) cause duplicate entries.
