I've fought with this a number or times and keep finding better and less difficult work arounds.
My current best solution is to go to DateBk5, and using the Beam Category feature beam all items from all categories to another device (before you start, you need to have the same categories in the same order!). Then, delete the DatabookDB.pdb (if you aren't already using deletepims.prc, also from PimlicoSoftware) and CalendarDB-PDat, and then reset!
From the Phone app, with the Show Calendar Item enabled, enter the Calendar application by tapping the space that would ordinarily show the next item, but now says something like "No Items In Calendar". (If it doesn't say that, you've still got a Calendar daatabase somewhere that needs deleted.) This is all to create a fresh blank calendar daatabase. Then you can just beam over the DatebookDB.pdb from the device that received your earlier beam. (It's faster than beaming the records back individually.)
And then a hotsync with Handheld overwrites Desktop. That results in everything being happy again for me.
First problem, I don't have Datebk5. Second problem,what other device do you mean for beaming? I have to buy another treo and Datebk5 to fix this? That's an expensive fix.
