Re: [PilotMgr] error: modification of a read-only ... line 2665
Thanks for all the responses guys, but unfortunately none of the
instructions below work. I have by now updated my PalmOS to 3.5.2 and
made sure that my user name on the Palm is the same as on the Pilot
Manager. Tried to synch again but ... "Error: Modification of a
read-only value attempted at PilotMgr.pm line 2663"
I am not a star at Perl, but maybe someone can check the code.
Thx,
Maurice Oomen
