Hi Guys!

I've got a secondary XDA Executive that I keep as a fall-back if the main one breaks down. Here is my question.

I've copied everything from the MAIN XDA to the secondary one (using SPB Backup) and they function identically. The only problem is that if I try and connect the SECONDARY device to my PC to sync it with Outlook it thinks it's the MAIN device (maybe that's no surprise) and it really screws up the sync process. I just wondered where the settings are held for the 'partnership' for ActiveSync on the PDA???

I tried changing the device name but it still thinks it's the MAIN device.

I guess what I'm trying to do is get the SECONDARYdevice to NOT have any partnership at all so I can set it up as a second partnership on my PC

Any thoughts?

Thanks

S

In ActiveSync:

Menu->Options click on the computer which you have the partnership with and then click "Delete".

That should delete the partnership that your phone has stored on it and the next time you connect it to your computer it will prompt you to create a new partnership.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Doh! It's always the simple solutions that get me! :)))

Brilliant!

PS Do you happen to know where that info is stored (that gets deleted) is it a single file or an entry in the registry?

No idea sorry, just had to do it myself recently and only figured it out after trying for about 2 hours...
