I added an Anniversary date in 1 contact record on the PDA last night. I also changed about 20 other Contact records on the Desktop, and added 2 Categories in the Contacts area on the Desktop. For many of the ~20 Contact records that I changed, I also changed their Categories that were assigned to them, to one of the 2 new ones.
After I synced, I decided to check the PDA due to the problems we're having with this. OFC, since the wrong information gets entered totally randomly, the easiest way (though NOT easy), to do this is to keep pressing right on the five-way button while you are in the Calendar on the Day view, and do that 365 times. (I probably have about 24 different ~real~ Anniversaries set, and fortunately I'm familiar with most of them so I can tell what's real and what's incorrect, if new Anniversaries pop up unexpectedly for the same days.)
Well, on two of the days where there were ~real~ Anniversaires set, 8 or 9 additional bogus Anniversaries also showed up for each day. They got added underneath the ~real~ Anniversaries set for the 2 days. All of them, of course, had the same date as the ~real~ Anniversary for that day, but they were also the exact same year as the ~real~ Anniversary, too. The records referenced, generally, were one of the 20 Contact records that I had changed, but I didn't check for sure that all were. I'll try to next time. To get rid of them, you have to select each bogus Anniversary and choose Delete. But, the deleted bogus Anniversary doesn't seem to be gone at that point. It just sits there. If you change days, say to the next day, and go back, then the bogus Anniversary, which you deleted, finally disappears.
This is pretty weird behavior. Somehow the database fields are getting fried. I guess maybe not many people are using the Anniversary field, or I would think we would be seeing more messages about problems with it.
Please let me know if you learn anything more about it, or if the behavior you see matches mine, above, or how yours is working differently.
Tx!
