Check the Apple forums - it is not an Outlook issue.

Try this: open the event on the iPhone and change it to recurring daily then
end the recurrence on the date of the event before syncing.

Thanks Diane.
I did as you suggested and recurring events synced correctly whether they
lasted two days or seven. Events recorded on each day they were scheduled.
I then tried a single event again and it still failed to synchronise.
Does the above information point towards a futher solution?
Thanks again for your helpp
jsflyfisher.

Hello again.
Sorry I obviously didn't explain myself properly. No the single event was
not set as recurring as I wanted to see if the other action had solved the
problem.

Diane
I have just had chance to try a single appointment set as recurring, ending
on the day of the appointment. I am delighted to advise that this has forced
the software to synchronise correctly. This has provided a much needed
temporary solution until the software bug is fixed.
Many, many thanks for your help and appologies again for not interpreting
your original instructions correctly.
Regards,
jsflyfisher

I had the same problem and was able to fix it the same way, recurring events
to end the same day. However, I don't want to have to do this every time.
Have you wrote to Apple about this problem? Just wondering. I'm sure they
have heard about it but I was wondering if it would help if we said something
again.

Apple is well aware of the problem, they just need to figure out what causes
it and fix it.

Have you tried removing iTunes 7.7 and installing an older version?
