Thanks for getting back to me. Let me try to clarify...
It began when I was getting a lot of fatal errors while trying to open documents on the handheld. I could not resolve it. I downloaded a new (7.0) version of Docs to Go from Data Viz and I was able to use it briefly, but the problem continued. I thought I would try to "start over" with everything since all my material is backed up on the PC. I did a hard re-set and began what I thought was the process of setting up the handheld as if it was new. Once I did that, this new aggressive error began every time I tried to sync the Desk Top Software back to the handheld. I would go thru the steps, restoring databases etc, but once it was apparently done, a message appears on the screen of the Palm indicating I need to reset the device. Every time I do that the fatal message comes up. At that point the unit is frozen completely, so bad that it cannot be turned off. So I have to do another hard re-set and the nightmare begins again!
