Ive just upgraded to AS 4.5 from 4.2 and am running WM5.0. When I
docked my PPC in the USB cradle, Active Synch created a new PC
relationship "Windows PC 2". Why has it done this, or more to the point
how do I scrap this second relationship the "Delete Relationship"
button is greyed out for this new relationship (but not for the old
one)?

The why is that the newer version upgrade didn't (doesn't) do a good job of
retaining relationships. Can you not delete the partnerships on the PC and
PPC when they are not connected? On the PPC you go into AS options,
highlight the partner name and select delete. On the PC you go to File>
Mobile Device, select the one you wish to delete so it is listed on the main
page and then File>Delete Mobile Device.

You can't get the actual original partnership back, you just need to delete
them all and let it set up anew. You can try just deleting the new ones, but
I'll bet you need to go to square one.
