No. That _is_ what DateBk5/Pimlico Software says: http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/datebk5faq.htm Then do a search for "Will DateBk5 work with the Palm Desktop and other Desktop Software? " and you'll find the paragraph where it explains all. Now, you can argue that they're lying or mistaken, but that's what Pimlico says and you can take it up with them if you disagree ;-) It also doesn't alter the fact that Palm Desktop's own conduits synchronise categories for events when they're present. Work out whatever theory you want about that (because, of course, PalmOne/Source does spend a huge amount of time on Mac synchronisation software as we all know and so are entirely willing to reverse engineer Pimlico's kludge and incorporate it into their own synchronisation software), but it does happen. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
