Thanks for the prompt reply.
Didn't think of creating a clean default contacts folder as I was expecting
that upon sync the revisions made to desktop would overwrite the PPC (which
didn't happen then, but does now).
Problem solved in a "backdoor" way <g>.
Tired of fooling with it, frustrated, and after rumaging around on the
Aximsite - it appeared that a BIOS flash was in order.
Did that in the interim and it did, indeed, fix most, if not all, of what
ailed the X51v <s>.
As an unintended (but welcomed!) by product of the flash......all PIM data
was removed in one fell swoop. A new sync then published the "clean" version
from DT to PPC. Changes made to desktop contact list are now reflected on
PPC after sync and all is right with the world.
Thanks again though for your reply - another tidbit of wisdom to add to the
memory bank and one which I'm sure will help others searching here for the
solution.

Hi,
If a partnership exists and you delete the Contacts from the mobile device,
it erase from Outlook as well. If you have a set of Contacts that is clean
on the desktop, suggest that before syncing your device create a new
Contacts folder in Outlook and select all contacts from the default folder
(press Ctrl + a), drag and drop the selection into the new folder.
Upon sync, since no contacts are available in the default folder, Contacts
on your device will be erased. Now repeat the action and move the contacts
from the new folder into the default folder and ActiveSync will sync the new
set of contacts to your device.
