I can't find anything in the Shadowplan manual about hotsyncing with
Vista, and don't want to buy Shadowplan unless I know I can do it. Can
I?

Thanks!

The pain there was that Palm didn't get a fully Vista compatible
Palm Desktop together for years after Vista came out, which made things
really goofy. In general I can say for most people it works fine, but some
people just have no end of trouble.

You can try before you commit though; before purchased, it will
sync... just not more than one list at a time; you can check the
lastsync.txt log file to see what happened, and if it did something or
not, and keep your eye open for the Shadow sync dialog that flicks by.

I have been hotsyncing ShadowPlan with Vista (and using the ShadowPlan desktop on my Vista computer daily) for about 18 months now with no problems. Make sure you have the Vista version of the Palm Desktop.
