Just some grouching about uncomfortable synchronizing with Palmhandhelds

A

Arne Bartelsen

Hi everybody,

Synchronizing my Palm with Entourage works fine, no problems or bugs at all,
but once again there is an annoying constraint in a Microsoft product:
Why isn't it possible in Entourage Conduit Settings' preferences to set any
Entourage Address Book field to be synchronized with one of the four
customizable Address List fields on the Palm, but only "Nickname", "Title",
"Website", the "User-Defined"s 1-8, etc.? Why of all just these? What about
the _birthday_, undoubtedly one of the most important purposes of a
handheld?

I hope one of Office 2004's programmers reads this and maybe just inserts
the possibility to sync the birthday with the custom fields on the Palm in
the next update for Office 2004, since entries in the complaints and
suggestions form on the Mactopia site seem to be ignored...

Cheers
Arne Bartelsen
