Yes, because as I understand from the documentation (and Paul's comment) it does a better job with backing up than Hotsync, so when I discovered the problem I could have reverted to the previous state of Entourage on the computer. > I'm not saying that the Entourage conduit is at fault, because that's > jumping to conclusions.

Since I don't sync anything except Entourage, there's really no way to tell whether it was HotSync or the E'rage conduit that was at fault. > Also, back to the loss of categories ... previous Palm OS versions -- and > this could hold true for Palm OS 5 on the Treo -- had a limit of 15 > categories.

Yes, and that's why (I presume) some categories weren't lost - the contacts whose primary category was one that's on the handheld still had that category. It was the ones whose primary category was something not on the handheld that lost all category information. > -- Jan Martel in Davis, CA G4PB 15" Al; System 10.3.8 -- 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/>
