Sorry, I did not describe the scenario well enough.

I would understand that info coming from Opie is being cropped on the
Palm, but it is the other way around - Opie is empty and I want to
migrate my data from the Palm over there. Also, there is nothing to 
merge, as there is no data in Opie yet... 

Thanks for the reply.
