The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft ActiveSync 3.6
- Microsoft ActiveSync 3.1
- Microsoft ActiveSync 3.0
This article was previously published under Q256077 SYMPTOMS If you have a Windows CE-based device that you synchronize
between two partnerships with two desktop computer, and you use the following
method to synchronize tasks, the new task that is synchronized to Microsoft
Outlook on the second computer has the same due date as the first task that was
marked as complete:
- Create a new reoccurring task in Outlook.
- Mark it as complete. A new task is created that is due on
the next interval of the reoccurring task.
- Synchronize it to Tasks in Pocket Outlook.
- Synchronize your tasks in Pocket Outlook to Outlook running
on a second computer.
The completed reoccurring task and the new task on the Windows
CE-based device have the correct due dates based on the interval between
completed tasks and new tasks. CAUSEMicrosoft
has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed
at the beginning of this article.
RESOLUTION To work around this behavior, modify the date on the second
computer after synchronizing it to have the same due date as on the Windows
CE-based device.
