Thanks Jim.

Yes, I think I have a little over 500 messages, so if there is an upper
limit that may be my problem too. I had assumed the 'Overwrite' in the log
referred ot my choice to replace, rather than add to, the existing SMS
messages if any were stored in BitPim.  I will take a look next time I get
a chance and see if the other selection changes that log message.

 Unless you ended up with a solution, don't worry about going through your
notes.  I'll wait and see if I get a response from anyone else.  If it's
anything useful, I'll pass it along.

Thanks again,

Jon
