I used to get duplicates in Entourage 2001; don't know about EvX since it isn't out yet. I'm positive that the conduit will work with Datebk4/5 because those programs simply use the identical database files used by the standard Palm applications, without any changes. However, you won't necessarily preserve everything from DB4/5 when you import to EvX, and the same is true in reverse. For instance, Entourage lets you assign multiple categories to an item; DB4/5 does not; Entourage has unlimited categories; DB has 16 per type of item (notes, tasks, memos, events). DB4/5 has more sophisticated repeating items, I think. It's what you would expect to encounter trying to transfer data from one PIM to another; not all the fields match exactly. However, I never found any of the above to be a severe problem in E2001. I just deleted the duplicates from my Visor when I encountered them. And heck, I now see duplicates popping up even when I don't hot sync! I think some of them come from various Palm apps I've installed, like Redo and ToDo Plus. -- My web page: <http://home.earthlink.net/~allenwatson/> My scripts page: <http:homepage.mac.com/allenwatson> Microsoft MVP for Mac Entourage/Word--<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
