(If this isn't in the FAQ, it should be....) You can't use the file that
Palm Desktop currently has open to sync with.
Note that even if the Palm Desktop application is closed, the Instant
Palm Desktop extension that puts the little Palm icon in the menu bar
DOES have the "User Data" file open, so it can display your upcoming
appointments, etc, on the menu.
YOu need to create a new user in Palm Desktop and switch to that, then
sync with the "User" file you really wanted to sync with. I think you can
also disable the Instant Palm Desktop extension.
