It's fast forward now. I've got the sync working both ways, it also has checks and balances to make sure the most recent change is the one used. Hope I'm not saying too much, but I've built two separate "temporary" applications to do all the coding. I will throw away these apps and just install the code into Achieve-IT! desktop and Achieve-IT! Pocket PC. This shouldn't take all that long, but there are a few things to work out first. And there's a ton of cleanups to do too. But I'm really feeling good about the progress lately. :) Barnabas, thanks for the nice post. It’s fast forward now.

I think that I speak for the "faith collective" of Achieve-It for pocketpc users when I say that we know that you will resolve the programming issues successfully! The sounding board thing works for me, too! If the "puzzle" metaphor doesn't work for you, please consider the enormous advantage that your program users anticipate and will receive following your "sync update" version!!! I for one am very excited! Continue the very good work! Go for it dude!

Isn't that the truth. I do the same thing to my wife. I'm sure it's agony for her to sit through it. <i>"I've tried declaring the variable and resetting it on the fly using a counter, but it still won't increment." </i> Then it will occur to me I didn't <i>enable</i> the counter or something. lol But you are right...sound boarding does help solve the problems.

He usually didn't have any idea at all about what I was talking about, but just having a sounding board gave me an opportunity to look at things from a different angle and I usually found my solution rather quickly. I'm glad you got it working!

Sometimes I'll make a public comment when I'm stuck and for some reason, I'll have a breakthrough shortly thereafter. Sure enough, I had about a dozen successful syncs back and forth yesterday after applying some tweaks. Thanks for the support.

Just think of it like a jigsaw puzzle. You just keep trying different pieces and finally you you get all the pieces in the right places and a beautiful picture appears! Hang in there Brad!
