[missing-sync-palmos-talk] attempt to insert nil value

[Paul List Hess]

Status update --- the short story is everything seems better for the moment (fingers crossed)

I set out to follow Peter's procedure.

In step 3 my Reset Sync History was greyed out.  Thanks to everyone for advice, rebooting and then waiting plenty of time for all background syncing to complete solved that problem.

Then before step 4 I was interrupted by phone calls and business etc and it started syncing again, blowing my "reset sync history".

So I decided to resync the PDA and make backups again to go back to step 1.  It took forever.  Then there were hundreds of conflicts it wanted me to resolve.  I cycled through resyncing with the PDA, resolving conflicts (always in favor or the Address Book), etc until it reached a stable state.

I'm now in that stable state.  My address book has about 1800 contacts instead of the 900 or so form before.  But they're not doubled.  They are just apparently all the ones that I came within inches of losing that were only existing for a while on my PDA.  Best of all I am no longer getting the nil value error message/

I'll back everything up and just start using it and hope that the crisis is resolved.  The size of my backup file is 6MB instead of 1.1MB.  I'm wondering if another shoe will drop and massive duplication will start to occur.  If so, I can probably handle that on the Treo side using UnDupe and then sync back to the laptop.

Thanks to everyone who contributed advice and support!
