Create/UpdateRecurrence break event starttime

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I'm using powerbuilder, and trying to add recurrence. 
I've observed the following:

First, when I call event.CreateRecurrence() on an existing event, the event's starttime immediately gets changed to 12/30/1899 00:00:00.

So then, I set the recurrence's startdate and starttime BOTH to (for instance):  4/16/2014 03:30:00

Then I call event.UpdateRecurrence(recurrence).  

Now the event's starttime changes to:  4/16/2014 00:00:00

The time portion is lost, and nothing I do will correct it.   On the calendar control, the event jumps to midnight.  In fact, it's like the event's starttime becomes read only once the recurrence is set.

How can I fix this?

	Well, I found this notation lurking in the help files: Remarks The StartTime property holds the starting date and time of the event. Important: Do NOT set the StartTime or EndTime for a Master event. These times are calculated internally and should not be changed. An event becomes a Master event when the CreateRecurrence method is used on the event. So - it's sounding like, once those attributes are set, there's no changing the event to a repeating event.
