[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Re:MS won't launch automatically

[Paul Berkowitz]

I have the latest Documents to Go version (7.006). It doesn't stop Missing
Sync from running (Entourage, Install and Backup Conduits), but I always get
an error in the Log that tells me that Documents to Go Conduit had a
problem:

"
Documents To Go Message(s)
- Getting Started Tips -
 - Source file cannot be found
  The item has not been updated on the handheld.
  Run Documents To Go on the desktop and update the item view to resolve
this problem.
OK Documents To Go with 5 message(s)
"

Running Documents To Go on the desktop doesn't help. I can see that the Word
doc has been (properly?) converted to a .PDB file of the same name in
~/Documents/Palm/Users/me/DocsToGo/Translated Documents/ (and there's also a
backup .PD.pdb in .../Backups), but it just reports this error every time
MissingSync runs. Is this par for the course? Or does anyone know of some
way to fix it? So far it doesn't seem that DocumentsToGo can do anything.
