I'm thinking about moving to one of the WM6 ROMs, but I've got a query about syncing.....

Do I REALLY need to upgrade ActiveSync 4.5 to get it to sync with XP? My problem is that I need to sync with my work laptop which is only running ActiveSync 4.2.

thanks
Mark

you realize it takes less than 5 minutes to upgrade your ActiveSync version, right? or are you in an environment where you can't make changes to a work notebook?

And are you really going to sync to two PC's or you just want to use your home PC to do the upgrade? And btw, 4.5 works better than 4.2 with WM6 (at least in my experiences), but of course, YMMV...

It's the latter, I can't make any changes to the software on the work machine.

I'm in the same boat - not allowed to upgrade the software on my work machines...

Sucks.

I feel for ya.

I'd be using my home PC to do the flashing of the PDA. I will then sync the device with both my home and my work laptops.

Upgrading the ActiveSync version on the home mahcine is obviously not a problem, it's the work one I can't upgrade.

So you're saying that WM6 WILL sync with 4.2, just not as well?

For me your scenario wouldn't be a bother as I don't sync to my computer but to my Exchange server. (and I don't use Notes so everything sync's OK)

OK, thanks. I'll have to make enquiries about upgrading the ActiveSync on my work machine then.

I'll be careful not to mention which PDA I'm using!

As an IT person, that aspect wouldn't bother me (especially since I'm using one myself).

Within my office network, there are no shared apps installed on the local machines - everything is run through a virtual server. Exchange is configured with Push capability (I'm not using this though, using another one for personal contacts/emails/calendar). We also have internal wifi capability, so by setting up a shared folder on a local machine, one is able to transfer files back and forth without having to run AS.

U can try to use this non-installable version on an USB stick (just an .exe)
Just Google it and you'll find more.
I haven't used myself but u can give it a shot.
