Believe it or not it did and I'm not sure why. I am wondering if in the Outlook Sync tab if I might have inadvertantly selected Maximizer Overrides under Conflicts.
With that said however I restored Outlook and did a clean install of Max 9. Everything is working great now, including the Palm Sync.
Kudos to Maximizer on the new Outlook sync feature. Overall it was better to work through than trying to import information like in Max 8.
