Cursed Calendar

2 replies · 1,719 views · Started 09 June 2007

I work a rotating shift patten, which I have entered in MS Outlook 2007. Each shift is entered as a 'All Day Event' in Outlook, which equated to a 'Memo' in the phone calendar on my N80 and N70.

When I sync with my it N95 ignores these repeating memos so they don't appear in the phone calendar.

I'd be very grateful if anyone knows a solution to this.

It's not an ideal solution, but try creating actual start and end times instead of ticking All Day within Outlook. They should then appear as Appointments within Calendar on Nokia handset.

Cheers, that does work.

Another way I've found is to use a trial version of Papyrus to enter the shift pattern, and this copies over to the Nokia calendar so that repeating all day events appear.

Sometimes I just don't know what Nokia are up to, there was no need for all this messing about on the original 3rd Edition software.
