The adress book on my PC in Palm Desktop got corrupted evidently. (I didn't know this at first. I just noticed that a large number of records were gone (hundreds are now blank), however, there were still many valid records so I wasn't clear what happened. It seemed the more recent ones (last few months) were gone.) My Clie, however, had good data. Foolishly, I synched the desktop with my Clie the usual way hoping this would solve the problem, but the PC evidently overwrote the Clie and now the Clie has the hundreds of blank records too.
The .bak file on the PC is now more or less identical to the .dat file since the hotsynch updated it. And the Clie file is bad. My only hope seems to be if there is a backup on the Clie?
I'd try some sort of repair on the corrupt file except that I have a feeling it was caused by an aborted hotsynch and the blank records are toast. I also tried searching for strings in notepad and the missing records don't seem to be there.
I'm desparate. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Michael
