Synchronizing with two computers John Gregory 01-15-2008

I wish to synchronize my calendar, tasks, and contacts between two computers
using a pocket pc (2003 version).

I have got it where it works ok with tasks and contacts, but it wants to
re-write all calendar appointments each time, duplicating what is on the
Pocket PC, or duplicating what is on the computer - I do not seem to be able
to make it synchronize.

There are only a few appointments that have changed, but it wants to
synchronize all of them.

Is there a setting I am missing? (I am using the latest download on active
sync on one computer, and a recent, but older version on the other.

I noticed that my sync of contacts to Motorola Q does not always sync

contact changes. When I change on the Motorola device it wipes out the
Outlook

contact. I do have Outlook overriding my mobile device. It seems to

work fine with my work pc using Outlook 2003.

I have deleted partnerships, readded, defaulted my Motorola Q. Does

anyone have suggestions?

I was finally able to get the sync to work properly using the following:
Pick one computer with all of the files you want, export each caledar,
contacts etc. to a pst file,
Import these files into the other computer,
Set one computer to overwrite the Pocket PC, and synchronize everything,
Set both computers to normal settings (eg synchronize),
Then sync to the Pocket PC for both.

The first time you do this, it wants to synchronize everything, but then on
subsequent sync's it seems to work.

I think the key is having the exact same files in both computers for the
initial sync.

Good Luck!
