Mobile device won't sync "some" appointments with outlook 2007

I have an older HP Ipaq. I use it to sync my work Outlook 2003 with my home
Outlook 2007. The only problem is most meetings do not show up on my home
Outlook 2007 when I sync. If I watch my Calendar closely, I can see the
appointment pop into the calendar and then disappear.

I read it may have to do with recurring events with no end date, but I fixed
those and they still do not show up.

How do I get these meetings to appear??

Do they appear in a table view, like By Category?

No, they do not show up in the table view, but they are on my IPAQ.

If you modify one of those events in an insignificant way (i.e., changing
something in the event back to whatever it already was) to make the event
appear modified, does it then sync?

Some of the events were "no end date." I changed them all to end after 2
years because I saw this on another forum. It seemed to work for 2
appointments, but did not work for others. I will make some more
modifications today at work and see if it will sync when I get home.

Should I make the changes in outlook @ work or directly in the PDA?

Thanks,
Kevin

Since you said the appointments that don't sync are on the PDA and NOT in
Outlook, how do you propose changing them in Outlook?

I can change them on my work computer (Outlook 2003) or the PDA. They sync
fine together. The issue is coming back off the PDA to my home computer
(Outlook 2007).

My other option is to Sync via google calendar which looks like it may work.
