My findings so far with using the vCal export for use with a PalmOS device:
1. Only the very newest Palm devices support categories for calendar items. 2. "Churchwide Event" is one character too long for those that do support categories. 3. If the categories do not already exist in the Palm Desktop, it goes into a loop and exhausts all avalable memory and then reports that the file is corrupt. --Richard On 9 Feb 2006 at 21:36, Peter Whiting wrote: > Decided to start a new thread... > > We haven't received much feedback on the last ical export - if > anyone has had success or problems with those exports please let > us know. > > The vcal has been a little more challenging, particularly in how > it deals with events that do not have an associated end time.
