Task Alarm Time does not sync

[mr-matt]

Has anyone else noticed that the reminder Alarm Time for a new task does not sync to the SmartPhone?

In Outlook 2003:

Create a new task due tomorrow. Set Alarm Time for tomorrow at 3pm. Save the Task.
Plug in SmartPhone (I have a Motorola MPx200) and wait for ActiveSync to complete. No errors reported.
Note that task has syncronized successfully BUT the time for the alarm defaults to 8am.
This bug seems to apply to all tasks created in outlook with an alarm. Tasks created on the SmartPhone via PowerTasks are sync'ed to Outlook with the correct Alarm Time.

Ah, I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem!

Using almost the same setup as mr-matt, except that my phone is an Orange C500 and syncing to Outlook 2002.

The following software versions are being used:

ActiveSync 3.7.1 (Build 4034)
Outlook 2002 SP3
Orange SPV C500
Power Tasks 1.95 (registered)

Hi David-

Check out this page: http://www.developerone.com/help/tasksync.htm

It says it is just a bug in Outlook....

Thanks for the link M.

At least the workaround isn't too horrendous!
