PC: WinME, Celeron 1.1, 512 Ram PDA1: Palm OS 3.1, Visor, 2 MB (Husband's) PDA2: Palm OS 4.1, Zire, 2 MB (Wife's) How do I keep only the datebooks and address books on the Visor & the Zire synched?

Is the goal to have different synchs for each PDA or to synch the same datebook and addressbook for both? Because if the goal is different synchs, the palm desktop software that came with the Visor allows you to create multiple accounts that identify the PDA by a username and only install or synch that which is identified by the username. If the goal is to have the same datebook and addressbook... try saving both of them and manually telling the palm desktop software to synch /that/ file rather than the one it might otherwise use. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

My goal is to be able to put my Visor in the hot sync crade, hit the button and it sync a sharted address book & date book while syncing a "personnal" everything else. If I want to fill my visor with games I can without filling up her Zire. I don't want to just through any other hoops each time we hot sync.

I'm using Palm Desktop 3.0. Here's another way to put my question. I want to be able to select HotSync --> Custom. Then double click "Address Book." Then have the option to select "Sync only with ______". Right now I have 4 options; 1) Synchronize the files 2) Desktop overwrites handheld 3) Handheld overwrites desktop 4) Do nothing.

do i need some 3rd party software? That seems a little excessive. I like the palm desktop address book.

Palm.com Tech says the Palm Address book doesn't support what I want to do. I'll have to find a 3rd party app. Quote Dear Tod, Thank you very much for your inquiry.
