I answer this with reluctance, knowing I'll see it 10+ times. ;-)

Did you then go back and sync with WinXP or MacX? (nevermind, with the
list as it is, don't answer.)

I did the get, since I was also syncing with Win2k, and I didn't want it
to think I had a new device - and it worked like a charm.  Maybe
something platform dependent is happening.... your's is a Visor, mine is
a Palm -- they do use the same OS, but....  I never got the "duplicate
records" that so many others ran into either.

Anyway, I would try "getting" first, then, if it doesn't work, try
"setting" - if "getting" doesn't work, then you have nothing to lose.
