Thumbs up Calendar Sync with 8830 and Desktop Manager 4.3 Crashes

I am about ready to turn in my Blackberry 8830 and the companion Desktop Manager 4.3 as a piling heap of crap for my old Treo 650. In ten years of Palm use I never had a single sync problem. I have this Blackberry thing for one month and it's nothing but headache.

Here's what I did:

1.) Ran into the same problem all of you had.
2.) Uninstalled, cleaned registry, deleted files, drank heavily, reinstalled, lathered, rinsed, and repeated with varying degrees of success.
3.) Found this thread and followed the clear calender db advice. That failed too.
4.) Found the bit about clearing the last bits in the sync log that possibly represent the corrupted calendar entries and deleted them from Outlook.
5.) Crossed fingers, contemplated different methods of suicide...
6.) IT BLOODY WELL WORKED!!!

In Desktop Manager, click Synchronize >> Select Configuration tab >> Click View Log >>

When viewing the items in your Outlook Calendar in the log, the item that the sync is choking on is the last item at the bottom. Find that item in your Outlook Calendar and delete it and you should be good-to-go.
