I just reset mine, also from the I++ soft reset item. And It set itself to
1/1/2008 @ 7:00 AM.

Subject: [NTLK] Strange Behaviors...


My MP2100 has started having strange behaviors relating to Dates/
Dateman in the past couple of weeks:

Repeating To Do Items:

  - Last week, I noticed that existing repeating To Do items are not
listed as repeating items in the editing slip.  They are showing up
as 'Don't repeat'.  I get the same thing whether I freeze Dateman or
not.  The relevant items _are_ listed in SAI's ToDo Cleaner as
repeating, and they _do_ repeat on schedule (maybe, see below), but
they don't show up on future dates.

  - Trying to delete one of these repeating ToDos deletes that
particular item, but I do not get the slip with a selection to delete
future ones (the slip has different options if DateMan is active, but
doesn't appear regardless for these items).

  - I'm not absolutely sure, but I think these were items that were
scheduled as 'ongoing' - But one that triggered today seems to be
fine.  Go figure...

  - It appears that some of my repeating ToDos are/were triggering at
the wrong date (too frequently).  Case in point is an item that I
have scheduled monthly to clean my fish tank.  It has shown up 3
times in the past week.  This _may_ be related to items that were not
completed on the due date.  I also do see what appear to be multiple
listing of all my repeating ToDos in ToDo Cleaner.

  - It appears that I can edit these and get the repeating ToDos to
return to 'normal', in that they show up on future dates, and when I
go to delete one, I get the delete options slip.

I am tempted, given that I only have about 8 or 9 repeating ToDos, to
just wipe them all and start over, but thought I would mention this
in case it is not an isolated case.

Time/Date:

  - This morning, my clock was set to Jan 1, 2008, and the time was
early by two hours.  Confused the heck out of me, especially since I
went into Dates to check on the above mess.
