Salesforce calendar items not all syncing?

If you use Outlook edition and mark some of your Outlook calendar items for sync to salesforce, you'll soon find that it won't sync multi-day calendar items. Here's what salesforce support has to say: "With Outlook Edition 2.0, you cannot synchronize events that have a duration of longer than 24 hours. Multi-day events that are created as a single event of a long duration are not supported with this product."

Here's a great work around they suggested
Instead of scheduling a multi-day calendar item in Outlook, schedule a daily appointment recurrence in Outlook. So, if you're going to Dreamforce on Sept. 16-19th, you'd set up a single day appointment in Outlook for Sept. 16th that lasts from 8am-10pm. Then click the "Recurrence" button, and set the recurrence to "Daily", "Every 1 day", "End By 9/19/2007". Then Save and Mark for Sync. these individual items will now properly sync to your salesforce calendar.
