When I sync my BB 9700 with Outlook the Desktop Manager automatically tries to delete "old" Calendar items. I have tried the following steps (taken from another BB forum) to stop this but without success:

1) Go to the home screen in my BB

2) Go to the 'Calendar'

3) Press the 'Menu' button

4) Select 'Options'

4) Select 'General'

5) Change the setting 'Keep Appointments' from '60 Days' to 'Forever'

6) Press the 'Return' key

7) Select 'Save'

What am I doing wrong?

I had the same problem, the old entries on outlook would not transfer to my new BB as it kept trying to delete them.
My solution was to do what you have done on the BB then configure the synchronisation on desktop manager to one way from outlook to device. This put all my old appointments on my BB. I then changed the syncronisation back to both ways.
This now means I've got all old appointments on outlook and my BB and I can add or delete on either then sync and the changes are made to both.
Hope this helps
