Problems syncing Outlook Contacts

[aw000002]

Hi,

I hope someone else had had this problem and might have a solution for me.

My Scenario:
I have the 8525 (WM5.2), my wife a MPx220 (WM2003 2nd).
For the past 3 months all has been running great.
Today, when I synced my 8525, about 25% of my contacts disappeared from my 8525. They are still showing on my MPx220 and in Outlook 2003??

I have not changed, installed anything new in the past few days.
What could be the problem?

Thanks in advance,
Alan

Questions:

Were any "notes" added to some of contact entries?

Do you have a high number of contacts > 400?

Have you tried re-creating the partnership?

Hi,

Yes, "Some" of the contact not syncing have note, but not all of them.
I have about 650 contacts.
I have backed up my outlook contacts, removed them, synced to have a clean database, deleted and recreated the patnership, restored contacts and then re-synced - still the same, works with my WM 2003 devices and not my WM 5.

Also, this has been running fine for the last 3 months??? What has changed.

Thanks,
Alan.

Hard to say, are you using default appz for calendar and contacts?

[aw000002]

Yes, all default.

I can't say why something has changed just recently but I had a reason for asking about notes and that was:

Thanks, I will try that a bit later and see what happens.

I use Chapura Pocket Mirror.

http://www.chapura.com/pmp_wm.php

I am syncing 600+ contacts in 8 subfolders including public contacts on my exchange server. It does other things like multiple calendars. I couldn't live without it.

Cons: $$ and no OTA.

Thank you all at xda-developers!

It appears the post with the link to:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=259091&highlight=syncing+contacts

solved the problem. It appears my Office/Outlook installation was "broken".
I have uninstalled office, and re-installed it and after importing all the contacts, everything seems to be working fine.

Thanks again.
Alan.
