–David– >> I have a message about DTS corrupting data … DTP corrupted my address book in the process of exporting it. Some records were simply omitted. In some cases the phone number exported was an old one that I had changed. It's too late to go back and re-export, I've already made changes to the exported file, which I use in Sidekick. LeGrande Sanders in message # 47774 reports his Reminders were wiped out. Benjamin H. Swanson in message # 47901 reports his calendar data trashed. These are just random examples that I have seen. I'm sure there are others. DTP also has other problems in addition to corrupted data. For example the menus are poorly organized and poorly labelled. I'm not unsympathetic to Okna, they have a very sexy program, and software developement today is an enormously complex business. I just hope they hold off on their next release until they straighten out their current problems. I feel like the guy who meets a very sexy 16 year old girl. He gives her a quarter and tells her to call him when she grows –Pat–
