Topic: Create/UpdateRecurrence break event starttime

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 " rel="nofollow - EndTime for a " rel="nofollow - Master event . These times are calculated internally and should not be changed. An event becomes a Master event when the " rel="nofollow - 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.
