Royal Davinci DV1 Synch problems

Post #26,000 by nking 1/27/02 11:19:37 PM Reply	Royal Davinci DV1 Synch problems I hate this ***ing thing, it never wants to synch up my Outlook 2000 data. I miss appointments, address book entries, etc because it misses them. I got the DVLink and DVSynch software installed, no conflicts. The DV1 shows that it is synching up with the PC, and the DVLink shows it is sending data to the DV1. Yet my updated info is not there! Bog!I even told it to clear out the PDA data before synching. Anyone have any experience with this monster? I got it as a Christmas gift from my father-in-law. personally I think he should have opted another $39 to get the Palm M100 instead. Or $100 more for the handspring Visor Deluxe. "Will code Visual BASIC for cash."*

I know your financial situation is tight, but geeze, a paper day planner is better than that. I saw that thing at KMart, wasn't particularly impressed with it, in fact I thought it was a piece of junk. ----- Steve

But, if you primarily need to be reminded of events, then perhaps you could just use the PDA independently of Outlook. That way the appointments entered in the PDA should stay there. Do the experiment: does syncing cause appointments previously entered in the PDA to be clobbered? If not, then entering all appointments through the PDA, not Outlook, would be the workaround. On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

Or if my 3 year old son figures out how to hit the reset button and clear the memory of the PDA. He already can hit the reset switch of my computer with an action figure from accross the room that he throws. When he grows up, I hope he tries out for the Rams as a quarterback. :) When I enter an appointment in the DV1 PDA, it does not get entered into Outlook when I synch them up. The software says they are synching, it even counts Outlook addresses and appointments. It looks like it is working, yet does not work as advertised. Grrr, I'll be saving my money up for a Palm/Visor as soon as I start earning a paycheck. Even a few dollars a week will get me one in a year or two. "Will code Visual BASIC for cash."
