Fix AddressDB is a utility that forces the treo 650 to rebuild the AddressDB which provides compatibility with most contact-related applications. Useful when the Treo650 corrupts this file (unfortunately too frequent). Requires Treo650
The Treo 650 has a new database structure which can store extra info like Bitrhdays (a good thing). So that the myriad of applications which are expecting the old database format can still work, it also keeps a copy in the old addressbook format (another good thing). Unfortunately this database seems to become corrupted regularly (A bad thing).
Treo 650 address fix aims to correct this by forcing the treo to update the 'compatibility address database'
It is a free and unsupported application!


erikstreo: This appears to have solved a problem I encountered where the categories on my Treo 650 kept getting corrupted between syncing at work (outlook conduit) and home (palm desktop). With over 500 contacts, recategorizing was a nightmare.
