the new GPE calendar appears to do some Google sync by itself
Would you mind posting this information when you find it?

it was a desaster: appointments were duplicated or lost
I have had this experience too but it was down to my own lack of familiarity and understanding rather than a failure of Erminig. On a point of usage, I edit the calendar on the N800 only and use Google as a backup and permanent storage so my updating is a one-way process. I am sure that it can be a two-way but that was when I got into a knot.

I have just synched the Calendar information on the N800 with Google and it went a dream.

you should backup your calendar before syncing it.
The N800 Backup utility does this and stores the GPE information in its backup file under /documents
If you want to copy the files manually they are located in
root/home/user/.gpe

I understand that in Linux a folder name preceded by a dot denotes that the folder is hidden. So far I am unable to find a File Manager for the N800 that can display hidden folders. Any suggestions please?
