David, I have no idea whether it will synch with a PDA. When I try to synch mine at home I get a delightful message telling me "Sorry, no can do, your source database name is too long." So I just copy the database over once a month or so and call it good. Computers are dumber than dirt even tho they can do some nifty things at times.
