welcome to treonauts hilarypv. You should in genneral use the palm desktop software that comes with your device. Using the 680 desktop software if its not the same version as the 650 could cause issues in hot synching your data. Or it might not be a problem at all. I never had the 680 I went from the 650 to the 750.

The newer versions of Palm Desktop should be compatible with older devices so I wouldn't expect you to have any problems
