Problems syncing calendar to enV2

I'm using Bitpim 1.0.6 on a Windows XP machine, to sync with my Verizon LG enV2 phone.  I'm using a straight USB cable.  I have successfully pulled the pictures off my phone into Bitpim, and successfully loaded a new ringtone to my phone.  However, when I try to load my calendar to the phone, it does not work.  I imported my calendar from Outlook, and can see all my events in Bitpim.  I then click "Send Phone Data," choose only Calendar, and hit "OK."  Bitpim says it's loading (and the log confirms this), and the phone restarts (also noted in the log), but then my calendar on the phone remains the same (none of the new events have been added).  I have tried this twice, with the same results.  Bitpim's log seems to indicate that it has been loaded successfully, and that it must then restart the phone, but the data is not there.  Any ideas?  Am I skipping some important step?
 
Thanks!
-Jason

Jason,
I am having the same problem but I am using a Mac, Bluetooth and my Env2. I see the events in bitpim, the log file shows that it was successful and the phone restarts, but the events are not there. So it must have something to do with where Bitpim is placing the calender files.

maybe someone can add some additional information...

Lary,
 
I think I may have solved the problem.  The enV2 has a limited number of events it can hold in the calendar.  For me, the problem was that I was trying to copy over my entire Outlook calendar, which goes back to 2006.  So, only the first 200 or so events were copying over, all from 2006.  On the phone, it looked as though nothing had changed, but in fact I just had a bunch of old events.
 
Here's how I solved the problem: 
-To get my events into BitPim, I use Import Calendar Wizard.
-I choose Outlook Calendar, and in Outlook, I select my calendar.
-Once it has imported, I click "Data Filtering Parameters," and choose only this month and the next one or two months worth of events.  That way, you are well under the llimit for the enV2 calendar.
 
Hope this helps!
-Jason
