I HAVE the same problem as you so I decided to spend some time to find a solution or at least a workaround to solve it.
Well, in the last 4 hours I found a situation that could describe BUT NOT SOLVE the problem.

1. Created a recurrence event in MyApp
2. Exported it (get event from my dataprovider, add it as is to a mapi dataprovider). As you describe I can view it corerctly but my palm doesn't like it.
3. Created the SAME event directly into outlook calendar.
4. Compared them using OutlookSpy

Found that the difference seems to be into two properties 0X802E (Start) and 0X802F (End).

A. When exporting from MyApp the first is set to StartDate, NOT HOUR, of the recurrence pattern; the second one in the same way of the first but for EndDate.

B. When creating directly into Outlook the first one is set to StartDate + StartTime and the second one to StarDate + StartTime + DurationMinutes.

Using OutlookSpy I changed these two properties, AND ONLY THESE, according to Outlook way then I plug in my Palm and now the sync works!!!

Repeated this task a couple of time and always worked!

BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS!!!!!!!!

In my Sync function I tried to correct StartTime and EndTime both on Event and Event.RecurrencePattern but the properties never changes their values; I guess this happens because a RecurrencePattern is set.

Finally, does any one knows how can I set the properties in MyApp or directly into outlook? I don't know nothing about mapi programming.
Does any one knows any workaround to bypass the problem?

Please help me!!!

Thanks
Nicola

Our application allows the user to link the calendar to MS Outlook. This gives our clients the ability to take their appointments with themon a palm pilot or pocket pc (since they both link to ms outlook aswell).  The problem is with recurring events created from the Codejockcalendar control.  The events show up in ms outlook but will not syncto the device. 

Error message received...
The multi-day repeating appointment titledtest 1 beginning 06/28/2007 00:00:00 AM cannot be converted for use onthe Handheld. Please divide the appointment up into single-days andre-synchronize.

Afterdoing some thorough research I found that if I simply bring up therecurring event (created from codejock calendar) in ms outlook, clickrecurrence, and re-save it, it will then sync fine.  It's as if aproperty or some value that ms outlook is expecting from codejock isnot being set.  The other thing I noticed is that the "end after Xoccurrences" and the "end by" values are blank when I load therecurring event (created from codejock calendar).  After re-saving, itpopulates these fields with values...

Any idea what could be causing this?  What values should be set?

Please help!!

Thanks,
