Ouch! Maybe I *won't* switch over to using Entourage for my calendaring
needs. :-( I frequently need to edit single instances of repeating events
(either canceling meetings, or moving them to a different day or time, or
tweaking the alarm of a specific meeting to be earlier or later).
Does this problem only occur when doing the editing within Entourage, or
does it happen when doing it on the Palm and then doing a sync??
