Re: Rare problem with DlkGetSyncInfo?

[Henk Jonas]

You better write the hex-representation of the characters on your registration form. Then you can always double check the Username the user sends to you and the string DlkGetSyncInfo returns.

Yep - tried all of those -

user name was reportedly "xxxbxxbxx" (sticking with the 'b' for space
convention) and we tried:

"xxxxxxx"
"xxxbxxbxxb"
"xxxbxxbxxbb"

I deal with caps, but I don't strip out spaces (starting to be sorry I
don't) - I will try more combinations with this person, but I wanted to be
sure, before I drove them (and me) crazy, that DlkGetSyncInfo doesn't act
funky in any strange and unusual circumstances...so I take it, if the
HotSync program displays the name, then DlkGetSyncInfo is performing fine on
their Palm?

Thanks,

I am using the following routine to check my generated registration key

and

in all real-world cases - except ONE.

A single user with an m515 can't register the software.  His Palm User

Name

is not strange, and does not contain any weird characters - and again,

when

I configure POSE with his User Name - I am able to register without a
problem.

Is there some strange circumstance/configuration out there that the
following would not work with?  Am I doing something wrong?

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Hrm...don't know what 'RegKeyGen' is actually doing, but because you're
having troubles with a single person, I'd expect that it's due to that
person having more spaces that you do.  For example: 'KenbbCorey', or
'KenbCoreyb', where 'b' is a space.

Have you tried a few combinations in this way?
