Please log in for more thread options You can of course elect to synchronize any of the groups with only one of
the PCs. Not likely really useful to you, but you can.

>> Hi, I have some basic questions.
>>
>> A Windows Mobile device can be synchronised with up to two partnerships
>> (eg a homeVista PC and a work Vista PC).
>> What's possible here and what are the limitations.
>> Do you have to choose per item type to have it synchronized with one or
>> the other partner? Or can you even combine eg the contacts and have both
>> contact source synchronised to one WM device, w/o synchronising it back
>> to the wrong PC (= don't want private contact on the work PC).
>> Or do you have to choose: private contacts yes, work contacts no sorry
>> not possibel, and same decisions for agenda and tasks.
>>
>> To limit the number of contacts that's synchronised, is it a good
>> practice to put the ones that are less important in submaps in Outlook,
>> and will this limit the sync to the contacts in the upper level Contacts
>> folder.
>>
>> Thanks for your input,
>> Ivo
