Can anyone help me get a HotSync between a Treo 650 (Verizon) and a PC running Windows Vistra to exchange Calendar/Date Book data?

Question

For whatever it is worth, I've had no Hotsync problems with the Address Book, To Do List, or Memo Pad Apps.  I upgraded from the Beta version of Palm Desktop for Windows Vista to Palm Desktop by Access, Version 6.2.2 late last summer.  HotSyncing worked fine for all Apps for a few days, but Date Book Syncs have failed since 09/16/08, as shown in the abbreviated log shown below:

To the best of my recollection, the 9/16/08 Date Book HotSync failure shown above roughly coincided with the onset of similar failures when I have attempted to HotSync the same Treo with the Windows XP Pro box I use at work.  I don't know whether the HotSync failure on the Windows Vista Box I have at home preceded the failure on the XP box I use at work or vice versa, but I have to wonder if a HotSync failure for an App on one box can trigger similar failures for the same App when one attempts to HotSync it on other boxes.   I've trolled this help forum and haven't found any leads.  I really need to get my calendars at work and home back on the same page, so I would greatly appreciate suggestions. jfzaehringer

There may be database corruption causing the issue. Click on the following link for the program called DbFixiT. This program has a trial version that you can download and install on your Palm OS device. The trial version will scan for database corruption and then report the corruption. You can then find the records causing the problem and fix them yourself or you can purchase the program and have it automatically fix the records.
