Verbose Hotsync Logging

Sometimes when experiencing hotsync problems, it's desirable to have a detailed log of the hotsync to determine where the problem is being encountered. The Palm hotsync supports a verbose logging switch that most conduits will honor. To activate verbose logging, do the following;

• Shut down hotsync
• Start/Run
• in the open box, type "c:\Palm\hotsync -v" without the quotes and adjusted for your drive and path if you are not using a default install.
• Click OK
• Hotsync will start up
• Put your Palm in the cradle and hotsyncL
• After the sync, check your hotsync log on the PC.

If your hotsync died, the log may not have been written to the normal place. Check your windows\temp directory for a file named hot#, where number is any number. Open it with any text editor (notepad will do the trick) and review the contents.
