I downloaded and installed the latest version - 5.1b, s1. The problem
persists. Thanks for your help. Do you have any other suggestions?

You're not overclocking, are you?

That is an old beta version. The current version is 5.1b s6.

You could post to the support group @ Yahoo
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pimlicodatebk/&gt;
The author and beta testers hangs out there and answers many questions.

Under Datebk5 alarms preferences, is Datebk5 set to handle
alarms?

Thanks for all your responses. Here's my answers:

1) I'll try the Yahoo site next.
2) No - I'm not overclocking
3) I downloaded the version that was on the Pimlico webpage - perhaps
I was looking at the wrong site or an older webpage?
4) If I set DateBk5 to handle alarms, then the alarms are very loud.
If I don't check this, the alarms are at normal volume, but then I get
the old (internal built-in Palm datebook) alarm style. In other words,
this check box works as expected, its just the alarm volume that does
not.

Have you tried contacting Pimlico directly? I actually met the guy
who develops DateBk5, and he's a really sharp and very efficient guy.
If it's really a bug, he'd probably want to fix it and could probably
have it fixed in no time.

One other thing to try would be a TOTALLY clean install of DateBk5.
Do a hotsync, then hard-reset your device. Then hotsync again, but
choose a new dummy username so you have a totally separate context
to work in. Then install the version of DateBk5 you are using, and
see if the alarm works properly. Then, hard-reset again and choose
your original hotsync username to put everything back like it was.
