Hi,
apologies if I bother you with a question that has been around for more
than a decade...

I have to synchronize the Palm databases on two PCs directly without the
handheld! Reason: both PCs run palmone desktop 4.1.4 (as recommended by
palm for my palm pilot). My palm pilot, however, is too old to install the
corresponding version. It runs on some older version but communication
with the PCs is ok.

Now, the desktop 4.1.4 has more data fields (e.g. in Adressbook) than the
handheld. I can't therefore, use the handheld anymore to synchronize these
additional fields.

Is there some way to synchronize two PCs directly via network?

That's what I do, too. However, nw and then I am not careful enough and
both PCs have different changes that should be synchronized.

Are the two computers on the same network? If so, put the data files in
a folder on one of them that you can share, and point the data location
in both versions of Palm desktop to the shared folder. Tools>Options,
first tab in my ver 4.2 desktop.
