Allan, I added the three lines you suggested as shown below to my pilotmgr.pm
code, but still get the same error message:
&fullStatus("Pilot Manager", "Retrieving User Information", 0);
$userInfo->{"name"} = "Arthur G. Black";
$userInfo->{"userID"} = "355926017";
$dlp->setUserInfo($userInfo);
eval
{
$userInfo = $dlp->getUserInfo();
};
if ($@)
{
msg("Synchronization cancelled on Pilot\n");
After doing this operation, the Palm Vx Hotsync screen did show my name in the
upper right corner. I assume this indicates information was transferred to the
Palm. But it did not update my user info in the Palm Pref->Owner panel.
Another clue, last weekend when I did the resync with my Palm III, Pilotmgr did
recognize that it was dealing with a new user. It asked me if I wanted to
rewrite the user info. I pretty sure I also got this same query when I
attempted a resync of the Palm Vx that day. From that, I would conclude the
problem is after the point of realizing uer info does not match.
