Worked like a charm :-). And without any obvious problems. I did observe a
couple of issues:

1. I took the approach of having E'rage over-write the handheld address
book, so I don't know whether later sync's may cause problems. In doing the
over-write, I did notice one option I'd like to have for the address book
sync'ing: I have many contacts in E'rage for whom I have only email
information. I don't really want those on the handheld (Of course as soon as
I say this I'll decide I really need a handheld that can do email :-)). It
would be nice to have an option not to write email only contacts from E'rage
to the handheld.

2. I sync'd everything else, because I had entered some appointments and
such into the handheld and wanted to get them to E'rage. By & large, this
worked fine. I seem to have the same calendar event and to do's both places.
However, as was the case before, multi-day calendar events are very badly
handled on the handheld. Far as I could tell, all you get is a notation on
the first day of the event, and that doesn't even show up in month view. I
realize this is a Palm problem, just wish there was something that could be
done about it. I tend to view my calendar in month view and it's frustrating
that I won't have any indication that I've scheduled a 5 day trip for some
particular time. As I recall from last year, there are not good work arounds
for this - you either don't get the event on the handheld, or you have to
enter it as several one-day events in Entourage, which makes the calendar
messy (particularly if you have some other events on the same days - then it
bounces around vertically). Does anyone know of a better solution for this
or are we stuck with no way to deal with multi-day events?

Not surprisingly, events that weren't identical, even though I viewed them
as the same, were duplicated. I checked and both times this happened, I had
put different ending times into them. One also had a category on E'rage but
not on the Palm; I don�t know if that would have caused it to duplicate even
with the identical start and end times.

I chose not to sync events occurring on dates earlier than 5 weeks before
synchronization. Probably if I'd thought about it I should have realized
that was a one way switch - all the handheld events came over to E'rage,
even though they were older. Not a problem except for the large number of
"overdue" reminders that started popping up, but something to be aware of.

Overall, THANK YOU MBU!
