Is anyone sucessfully syncing Wordsmith, Money, or StockManager while residing on a Springboard? All databases are kept on the Visor, only the apps are on the Flash.
Any thoughts?

Thanks....that's interesting as WS will not sync unless I move the WS app over to the Visor. The Hotsync log shows that the sync never even took place...wierd

The difference in what you two experience may be related to what version of the HotSync Manager you are use. So what version are you two using?

Also: I have no problems synching with programs that reside on my Flash SB. The associated conduit runs just fine. The HotSync appears to complete normally. However when I check the log file, if I have the Flash SB in place, the last few lines are:

I believe that Handspring "tweaks" the software so that it will work with the Springboard.

Will work for gadgets....
