there are a number of issues with outlook 2002 on vista (including that its
not supported). Others have problems with recurring appointments, I can't
repro but I also can't sync the test system with my pda.
We don't know what other problems may exist with the various office
applications and recommend upgrading for best results. Vista supports
syncing with the vista calendar and mail applications if you don't want to
upgrade.
