(Fwd) AdressDB record problem on sync.

Hello:

I've been using part of my stay-inside time to do some clean-up in my Jpilot/Palm address
book.

It is in the Jpilot application where I do 90+% of my editing and then sync.
Not too handy with the pencil/screen.  8^°

As a result I now get a few of these:

  • Sync Conflict: a AddressDB record must be manually merged -

If I recall correctly, a lot if not all of these were 'Unfiled' and I changed their status to the right
place. ie: Personal, Business, etc.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance,

I, too, use jpilot most of the time. Much more convenient than using the
handheld in the office.

Not specifically. Consider exporting the AddressDB, checking and editing
those rows that sync reported as needing help, then re-importing that
database table.

Here I use ContactsDB (191 kB) not AdressDB (703 bytes) since the Palm TX
runs PalmOS-5.x.

HTH,
