Hi Gang!

I'm one of those DateBook 6 holdouts on my Palm Tungston E  . . .

It quit syncing with Outlook - which is a 'once a year' thing or so when MS dowloads updates to Outlook 2003.  And, I'd also been experiencing some slow response so I ran DB FixIt a few times - no errors.  I also ran DbFixIt on 'an advanced' file which is likely where my problem is  . . . I'm definately not advanced - but I found no errors anywhere else and there were thousands of errors in this file - about 7500 errors.  I believe the file I ran the Fix on was "PDat CalendarDB-PDat" because that is the one that is still highlighted when I invoke the Advanced file pull-down menu. Then I uninstalled the Palm software & reinstalled it which usually fixes the Outlook problem.  Alas it did not, so I sync'ed it with the Palm Desktop.  Worked ok on the first sync BUT  . . . things looked promisi
 ng for a while . . .

The 2nd time it sync'ed, when launching DateBk6 I got an error message to 'delete some Datebk 6 file" & try again or something like that.  I can't get the message back to see what it was. DateBk6 calender on the Palm is totally blank - so is the original Palm Calendar.  The tasks, notes & addresses are all ok.

Anybody have any idea what I have to do to get this back.

Fortunatley my data is secure for the moment but only on the Palm Desktop - glad I did that!  The Outlook calendar on the PC is totally wrong too -  but not blank  - it got hosed one of the earlier times in the first incidence of the Palm & Outlook not syncing together correctly.

Up a creek with 1/4 of a paddle.

Anybody have any idea what I should do next? Thanks in advance!  Deb
