Lost all prior months events in calendar (but not current month)

[paulEntourage]

This is an odd one. I checked my Treo the other day and realized
there were no non-recurring events in it later than the current month
(July). Went home to find that all non-recurring events were also lost
in Entourage (Office 2004 11.3.3) on my desktop. I can't tell when
this occurred, though obviously some time in last 19 days or I would
have noticed it. I ran a integrity check on the db and everything
comes up fine.

Sadly, I realize the backup i had of the database was replaced by the
new one and does not have earlier data. I do have another database
on a laptop, but the data there is not updated to this month.

So, 2 questions:

1. Is there anything i can do to retrieve this data. I am not
optimistic on this score, but since not all of it was deleted, i'm
hoping it might still be somewhere.
2. Failing #1, is there a way to take the database off my laptop with
events (and mail) through mid-May and integrate it with the more
current events from my desktop.

Thanks for any thoughts.

This happened me also a couple of weeks back. I can't answer your questions,
but I wanted to add that I have a suspicion that this problem is related to
Sync Services ... but that is just a hunch. I don't believe it is a database
corruption issue.

There is a preference setting (under the 'calendar' pane of the Entourage
Preferences) to delete all non-recurring events older than 'x' days - and
the defualt is 30 days.

It sounds like this preference is set for you.
