I have been trying Tinysheet through using two spreadsheets I use for reference (not calculation) on my PC and, through Tinysheet, on my Clie. The two files are Katie Ballet schedule.xls and Katie school schedule.xls. I have used those two files for a few days without incident. Tonight I created a new spreadsheet, Hardy computer.xls. I created it in Excel and used the Tinysheet dropdown menu to add it to Tinysheet. It was successfully added to the Clie. I then opened the Excel spreadsheet (from the Windows folder where I keep the file, not from the Tinysheet Manager) and made a few changes, closed it. Again it sync'd down to the Clie just fine. I then opened the Tinysheet Manager, right clicked on Katie Ballet schedule.xls (which I had NOT edited) and selected Open. What I saw was the version of Katie Ballet schedule.xls in the attached zip file. It is corrupted/overlayed with some of the contents of Hardy computer.xls. I can see no way that the steps above could cause this corruption (no two files were ever open at the same time, and I only did simple saves, never save as, and I hadn't edited Katie Ballet schedule.xls at all today) other than through some sort of defect in Tinysheet, the Tinysheet Manager, or the Tinysheet conduit. Please help. I really prefer Tinysheet to any other spreadsheet currently available for the Palm, but this type of data loss is unacceptable. Thanks! I have attached all the relevant Excel files in a single zip file. Please let me know if I can provide anything else that would be of help. One additional note: I am running Windows XP Professional and Office XP (including Excel XP) on a new IBM Thinkpad T-23. Plenty of memory, disk space, processor power, etc..
