Well put. At the most I would delete the Versasmell data file AFTER backing up the device and then going from there. In the for what it is worth area though, Jeff Gibson of
www.gotreosoftware.com has a new application called Safeguard (
http://gotreosoftware.com/products/safeguard/). Another approach though is to download/install DBFixit and see what it shows - in the unregistered version it shows errors; in the registered version it fixes errors in the Palm databases.
