[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Is MissingSync / iCal corrupting Treo Calendar Database?

[Peter Walker]

After 10 trouble-free months with the Treo650, recently I started  
getting a nasty DataMgr DMWriteCheck failed reset error, and always  
at Line 8872. The problem appeared to be a corruption in the DateBook  
database on the Treo650. Any application that had to read through the  
whole database crashed with this error and caused a reset. It  
happened in HotSync, DBScan, and DateBk5 (in the Purge function).

I don't know what corrupted the database but I suspect MissingSync  
5.0.2.  Changing from MissingSync 4 and from Entourage to iCal on the  
Mac was the only change that I have done in months.

After playing around with several options (and after doing a  
BackupMan to the SD Card), I found that the only solution was to  
delete the Calendar, DateBook, Task and ToDo databases from the  
Treo650, open the Calendar and Task apps to recreate empty databases  
and then use MissingSync to override the Treo with the data in iCal.

I am now back in operation and MissingSync 5.0.3b6 appears to be  
working.
