BES-enabled devices synchronize some of their databases over the air. These databases are locked for access through USB. If I recall correctly, the same happens using the backup utility of the desktop software that comes with the device. Reseting the device to the initial state should do the trick: On my Pearl, Options->Security->General Settings, launch the context menu and then select "Erase Handheld" But I guess that it should be a less drastic method. Maybe disabling the wireless synchronization in the device (for example, in the contacts application, options->Wireless synchronization: no) Regards, -- Rafael ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
