Palm Desktop tp Outlook problem

[MichaelR]

Hello Everyone,

I have searched but not found anything like the problem I am having. I ordered a x51 which will be in this week and am looking forward to going to pocket pc. I currently use a Sony Clie with the Palm desktop. In anticipation of the convert I sync'd my data to Outlook 2003 using Intellisync.

This problem has to do with the calendar I think. I have a lot of entries into the palm calendar that have no time setting... just an entry. When you input those entries there is also a "note" tab. I use that tab as a sort of journal/diary. After sync I found that a lot of the entries (if not all) do not show up anywhere in Outlook. I very much need those "notes" as I have a lot of valuable data in them. Am I doing something wrong or is there a way of keeping this data?

Thanks in advance for a newbie

I did the same thing you did. I had a Clie (SJ30) using Palm Desktop. I also changed the sync to Outlook when my PPC came in. I also have lots of notes in my appointments. I even used Datebook+. But, I had no problems. All of my notes were there in my appointments. I had the largest problem with moving my contacts over and lining up the fields. I had to do a lot of that by hand.

However, I did not sync to Outlook prior to getting my PPC. You said you sync'd with Outlook 2003. The x51 ships with 2002, so I wonder if this is your problem.

I did not sync my Palm to Outlook until I received the install disk from Dell. I have to wonder if there is an issue between 2002 and 2003.
