I am using Activesync v. 4.5 with a cingular 3125 smartphone. I am
looking to find a simple way to to transfer word and excel files to my
phone from my PC.(which i know are converted on the fly to the mobile
format)

I found this in the help section:-
<< To synchronize a file, place it in the special folder used for
synchronization. A shortcut to this folder was placed on your PC's
desktop when you selected to synchronize the Files information type.
show/hide quoted text

This is exactly what I would like to do - however there is no <<
show/hide quoted text

is there some way i can create/find/copy/move this file somehow?

Thanks, Colin

Hi Colin,

The File Synchronization feature you are looking for is not provided on the
Smartphone edition of Windows Mobile 5.0. Therefore you will not be able to
synchronize but you should be able to copy/paste using the "Explore" option
available in ActiveSync when the device is connected to the computer. You
might find the following url useful to understand the difference between
Pocket PC's and Smartphone's -

The reference in the help file is for Pocket PC and Pocket PC Phone edition
of Windows Mobile. FYI - This particular feature is available in smart
phones running on Windows Mobile 6.0.
