It sounds like DatebookDB.pdb is potentially corrupted. Any oddities on
the Palm side (Calendar in particular)? Any peculiar events recently
added?
Try HotSync Manager. Go to "Custom...", then temporarily disable the Cal-
endar conduit. Try HotSyncing again. Any luck? If synchronisation gets
jammed at a different stage, DatebookDB.pdb can be ruled out as being the
culprit. If none of the above offers a solution, I suggest you try to use
your backups. They are often located under:
<PALM-INSTLLATION-DIR>/<YOUR-USERNAMER>/DataBook or perhaps it was also
mirrored in <PALM-INSTLLATION-DIR>/<YOUR-USERNAMER>Backup
I can't check at the moment as I use neither a Mac or a Windows machine,
thus I can't use Palm Desktop.
Hope it helps,
Roy
