I have a PPC-6700 - and have had no problems until a week ago. It
suddenly STOPPED synchronizing contacts between my PDA and Outlook
2003. It syncs everything else perfectly.

It will sync my emails, notes, tasks etc.

I was using ActiveSync 4.1.

I did a soft reset, I did a hard reset... no change. When I go to
Activesync --> Menu --> Options, the check box next to contacts is
greyed out... and it does not allow me to 'check' contacts.

I then installed Activesync 4.2. And there was no change in the
problem.

Then

I uninstalled Activesync, deleted partnership on the handheld,
reinstalled Activesync 4.1. I did a hard reset on my PPC6700 (all data
was deleted). I did "detect and repair" on the Outlook. I also
downloaded and installed SP2 for Outlook 2003.

Now I set up a new partnership with my desktop.... and selected to sync
ONLY the contacts. While syncing, it puts a check mark next to the
Contacts in the Activesync on the desktop indicating it has sync'd with
the handheld - without ever showing the number of contacts - and it is
done in a second. It turns out that it did not really sync any contacts
at all. When I check the "options" in Activesync on the handheld, the
check box for contacts is still greyed out and not selectible.

Any ideas of what else I can do to fix it!!

I have got a new Loox N500 Pocket PC with WM5. I have just installed
ActiveSync 4.1 and performed a Sync - all seemed to go OK.

I then decided to tidy up my Contacts and removed a number of entries
on my Outlook on my laptop.

Did another ActiveSync and the contacts were still present on the
Pocket PC. Tried again - same problem.
Disconnected the Pocket PC - reconnected and did another Sync - now the
contacts were deleted.

Conclusion: Activesync 4.1 is still very flaky - never had any of these
problems with versions 3.6 - 3.8 on my previous Dell Axim.
