Re: New-style calendar db

["Matthew Kay" <m_kay fastmail co uk>]

Thanks for your helpful reply, David.  I appreciate that this is a big
job...shame that Palm gave you all this work!

I can't find a 'Datebook' application on my T5, but there is a Datebook
database, alongside the Calendar database, when I do a full backup.

I don't think I use any extended fields...I'm trying to transfer all of
my Evolution entries to the T5, so I must be using a field in Evolution
which confuses the conduits...?

Is there somewhere on the web I can find out which the illegal fields
are?  I'd be really happy to get this working.  At the moment my
Contacts synchronise perfectly, but my Calendar just stays the same on
both sides...

Many thanks,
Matt
