Please log in for more thread options Actually no, there is no 'existing partnership' left, only remnants of an
old partnership. The PPC actually creates a new unique key when you hard
reset it. It is this key that is used to cement the partnership. The refusal
to let you use the name over is to keep you from confusing yourself. All the
files that you had sync'd would be in the My Pocket_PC folder on the
desktop. All the PIM stuff should be up to date in Outlook.
If you delete the partnership in ActiveSync, and answer NO to the question
if you want to delete the sync'd files folder, you can rename the PPC to
what it was named before, and create a 'new' partnership. If you sync files
again, it will not try to re-create the sync folder on the PC, but rather
use the one that already exists.
I would of course suggest copying all the files in the My Pocket_PC folder
into a temp folder, just to ensure no disasters.
