Hi Darren
That could well be it. I've run my Palm from a "Data" folder on the  
drive using a symlink back to where the OS expects to find it. Run  
Mail, Address Book and iCal the same way.
I assumed Missing Sync ran its own set of conduits etc with out  
referencing the Palm folder.
What is /foo ?

I have found symlinks often work where aliases don't and when I had  
Missing Sync set up moving it was the next step.
I can't test right now as I'm doing this on my development machine at  
home but I shall investigate and see if I can figure where MS expects  
to see everything.

Regards
Eric
