I have been trying to transfer files from my 3MX to an HP Jornada pocket PC, by synchronising the 3MX to the PC and then synchronising the PC to the Jornada. On Data files, the problem is that synchronisation from the 3MX to the PC duplicates some entries and then only partly transfers most of the entries. Amongst other things, it appears that SHIFT/ENTER instead of ENTER alone is not recognised and any extra lines on a field are not recognised. Since the Data files are the most important, I have not progressed any further. Any advice please?

Would it help to save the Data file as a delimited text file in the 3mx and then edit it, possibly in Excel, on the PC?

Thanks for the advice, I will give it a try. Any ideas on what to specify as a delimiter? I was of course trying to avoid a lot of further editing! I did not mention it, but the synchronisation between the PC and the Jornada, using ActiveSync appears to work OK.
I could add the missing data on the Jornada, but so far I have not found it to be a user-friendly machine, unlike the Psion which is an excellent stand-alone, versatile machine. Pity about the screen problems!
Cheers

Any ideas on what to specify as a delimiter? Normally "Comma" unless you have commas in the data in which case try "Tab".
