Palm Pilot Problem (Contact List)

Locked

A VIP’s Palm is making very strange things happen with his Contact list. He uses Schedule + to keep contacts and syncs with Hotsynch and Active Synch.

First, his list had all contacts, but everyone’s name was listed with the first name duplicated : Amy, Amy; or Bill, Bill.

I checked Hotsynch and his map of field names shows Schedule + last name going to Last Name* (I do not know what the asteric in the last name means)

I hard rebooted the palm to clear memory. I resynched and this time the correct contacts were entered, along with the bogus Amy, Amy’s. Schedule + does not have the bogus contacts, though it wants to synch with the Palm to duplicate them. I have canceled each time the Palm wants to send its contacts to the Schedule+.

What is going on, and what can I do? email patestes@colliergov.net for more info.

Thanks!

Try going to Outlook, we have had no problem synch’ing contacts and schedule with Outlook.

We cannot move to Outlook until September when we replace our current computers.
