I have just upgraded my system from 2003 and Active sync 3.8 to the above
level.

Everything seems to work and syncronise well except for the outlook
calender. Any entry that gets added through the Pocket PC (Dell Axim)
syncronises to my desktop with no problems. But NOTHING will go the other
way. No meetings or appointments entered on the desktop will sync to the PPC.

How can I get this working?

Thanks

Can you try running Help -> Detect and Repair in Outlook, and
reinstall ActiveSync? If you're still having problems, try deleting
the partnership (File -> Delete Partnership) and recreate the
partnership.

Thanks Rob

I Have tried all of these and none seems to work. Have reinstalled
ActiveSync several times as well as deleting the partnership and creating new
ones, but it still refuses to sync appointments down from the desktop to the
PPC.

Any Other Ideas??

Otherwise, do you know if its posible to reintall Windows Mobile 2003 and
ActiveSync 3.8 once the system has been upgraded like this?

Thanks in advance

Woo Hoo

Problem Solved!!

Hint for the Unwary: Active sync does not seem to work completely with older
versions of Outlook. I was using Outlook 2000 and had problems, installed
Outlook 2002 and it works fine. Tested it by reinstalling 2000 and it stopped
working again.

So make sure you are running Outlook 2002 (at least) if you are running
WM2005 and Activesync 4.X.

Cheers
