The data is actually not cut off when you go to edit the field's
information. Just when it is displayed on the screen. I have used
Intellisync and Avantgo as well and they all have the same issue. It seems
to be more a "PocketPC can only fit so many characters" on the screen vs.
synching issue. Can you shrink the font size down or have it wraparound on
the display?

Thanks!

Ahhh... I see. Yes, that is visually truncated. No, the font isn't
adjustable. :-(
