Your Method didnot work but I applied the idea to my Palm Vx As having the corrupted File in th Date Book Not My PC.Therefore applied you method to my Palm.
1. using palm look at earlier entries in your datebook, and chose a date before which you have very few or no entries e.g. 1995. All entries before your chosen date will get deleted - see below.
2. Go to Palm Home Page Goto Pref Icon & Tap open
3 Goto General Preference Tab on your Palm. Change time/date on your Palm and change the current date to 1995.
4 Your palm it now thinks that 'today' is sometime in (e.g.) 1995.
5 select the datebook . Then Tap on 'comamds' at the bottom to get the 'records' drop down menu.
6 Tap on 'purge events' - a dialog box will offer you to purge events older than 1 week ( from your artificial date).
7. OK this - this will clear your datebook on your of all entries before this date, including hopefully the entry with a corrupt date.
8 close palm desktop.
