looking for TrueSync - FAQ links no help
(OP)
I thought I had posted this last week, but can't find it... here goes again:
I followed the links in the FAQ looking for a download site for TrueSync. I have a Treo 650 and I want to sync with my Sidekick 98 calendar. One link led to a Motorola site. In order to download the software (I think it was v. 3.1) you had to connect with Starfish's web site, which no longer exists. The other FAQ link send you to Tice's page, which has v. 1.1. I followed the instructions there but had no luck. His page says that he doesn't know if it works with XP. The Motorola site said that version does work with XP. I'm looking for another site where the download of 3.x is actually available. Any help would be appreciated.

I use Sidekick 98 running on XP Pro. I use TrueSync to sync Sidekick to Outlook and to my Palm. Works pretty well though some things, like multi-day events, will go from Sidekick to Outlook but not vice-versa. Also, about once a year the sync will delete all the multi-day events from SK. I always back up SK before the sync and check to be sure the Multi-day events are still there after the sync. (Love those colored bars.) Love Sidekick so it's worth the trouble but it's convenient to have everything in Outlook for access by the Outlook email client and to send and receive Calendar items. TrueSync makes it work.

The install can be tricky and the procedure I follow is the result of a lot of trial and error. If things are not done in the right order and with previous settings deleted, it won't work. I've been using this since before Outlook 2000 and it still works.
I would advise configuring TrueSync to sync only SK98 and Palm and get that working before including Outlook, if you plan to include it. As mentioned before including Outlook can produce some undesirable results including deleting multi-day events. Outlook 2000 used to corrupt email addresses but Outlook 2003 doesn't. Good luck!
