Are you saying that you want both Palms to have the same exact schedules on
them which also exists on the Desktop?

If yes, I would think that you need to make the User for each Palm exactly
the same then set your Conduit for Appointments to Sync versus Handeld
overwrites Desktop or Desktop overwrites Handheld. As long as the Palm user
names are the same the Desktop shouldn't know the difference, at least in
theory.

Hope this helps
