Hi Kay.
I've discovered that my backup files got corrupted.  I had to go back about
4 backups before I found one that would work with the planner correctly. Not
sure if the files got corrupted or I used wrong version of Sync program if
that's possible.

I have not been able to use the planner for several beta releases now. 
However my fiance who is using the same exact update is able to use it fine.

Not sure what is up. I don't use the planner a lot but the next time I think
of it I will send in another problem report.
