have been syncing contacts with my iphone for a month or so but just noticed this button "I synchronize with an iphone" in the preferences tab of daylite.

Should I select this button?
what does it do?

The help guide (Help > Daylite Help) describes that option under

"To match categories in Daylite with groups in Address Book and iPhone, and with categories on your Palm, select the 'I synchronize with an iPhone or The Missing Sync for Palm OS' checkbox."

Page 14 of the Synchronization Guide (Help > Daylite Synchronization Guide) explains:

"How are Daylite contact/organization categories mapped to AddressBook?
AddressBook does not have the concept of categories, but it has the concept of groups.
If you select the option “I synchronize with an iPhone or the Missing Sync for Palm OS”
in the preferences, then groups will be created in AddressBook to match the categories
in Daylite. "


In short, clicking this will create groups in Address Book matching the category names.

Then after it creates the new groups in AB I had to delete the old AB groups or else I ended up with double entries. After I deleted the doubles I had to make the groups in my treo (sync'd with Missing Sync) or those doubled too. I now have the groups the same in AB and the Treo and thay sync back and forth ok but now I am afraid to tell DL to start syncing.

I am learning to live with the new DL concept of one organization with several contacts related. I had to dig through this forum to discover that. And it does make sense to me, but now how do I only get the contacts I am using into DL without taking the entire AB contacts.

Explaining.... I have a training company and I am a musician. In my contact list I have band members, local musicians, vendors, agents and venues (100 contacts). I also have my training company contacts, vendors etc. (2500 plus) They are all in their groups in my AB. I am at day 5 of the DL trial. I wanted to only start with the music side to get the feel of DL on a smaller scale then bring in the other business contacts once I got comfortable with DL. With all of my music stuff in DL I am ready to try it out except when I sync with AB everyone comes over.

You say AB sees groups and DL sees categories. Does that mean if I assign the contacts in DL to DL groups Only they will be synced? Or will I have to run an addressbook without the training contacts to get past this over-syncing problem?

I really want to start out on a small scale first before i screw up everything. I have read the concept pdf several times and maybe I just don't get it but I like the DL program and think it will be just fine in the long run but I'm still a little fuzzy on this here.
