Allen Thanks for this suggestion. I'll see if I can set up the Sync category on a smaller set of names/addresses and get that group to sync in alpha order.
I use DatebookPro5. I don't know if that could in any way cause this situation. As I say, I don't have this situation when using the Palm conduit so I have to suspect a Microsoft problem. When I tried Apple's iSync, I didn't see an option that looked like Mac over writes Palm. Is there a way to do this? David > I'll have to admit you've got me baffled. I never had this problem.
