[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Memo Sync moves memos to Unfiled

[Jim C.]

Tom,

Your suggestion worked!  I did the following procedure:

(all steps refer to the Mark/Space MemoPad (MSMP) conduit, and I
started with the proper data on my handheld.)
1. Performed a "Handheld overwrites Desktop" sync.
2. Verified that data successfully made it correctly into the MSMP
application (it did).
3. Ran a "Desktop overwrites Handheld" sync.
4. Verified that data on handheld and MSMP application were still
correct (it was).
5. Ran a "Synchronize" sync.
6. Verified data on both handheld and MSMP.  Both are *still* correct!
(Woo-hoo!)
7. Entered a new memo on Palm and synched.  Still good!
8. Entered a new memo in MSMP application and synched.  Good again.
9. Modified memos on both sides & synched.  Also good!

Basically, the MSMP conduit seems to be working properly now that I've
done a "Desktop overwrites Handheld" sync. It's a bit of a kludge to
get things working properly, but at least it works now.  Hopefully,
you'll be able to get yours up and running, too.

Thanks for the help, Tom.

- Jim
