Synchronization

[dgduris]

Does anyone know if there is an alternate to ActiveSync?

I have been using WinMo for about a year and am disappointed that the sync software from M$ doesn't actually sync. That is to say, it doesn't look at a file - say Contacts - and use the more recently updated one to overwrite the other one, regardless of whether the newer one is on the PC or the phone.

For example, if I enter a new contact into my phone, while I am in the field, the concact does not show up on my PC after a sync. Still on the phone, but not actually synchronized to the PC.

Is there software that actually synchronizes or do they all just follow the "overwrite phone/ overwrite computer" rules?

I should mention that I sync between 2 PCs.

Mmm it looks like it doesn't sync outlook stuff (calendar, contacts, tasks, email).. is that the case?

sounds like you have a configuration issue w/ activesync - mine will take whichever is newer, even when syncing between 2 machine. in fact, i've used my phone to sync my work and home machines by using my phone as the go-between. I think the "overwrite phone/etc" settings only kick in if a record is changed on both the phone as well as the desktop?

it sounds like he wants to Sync on 2 PC's and get all stuff on both

you can sync on 2 pcs and get everything on both. the only thing you can't sync to two machines is email...

Hi all,

I had a look but couldn't find any help on this issue, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have a Tytn II running WM6, it syncs all my contacts and everything, however i have created a couple of tasks that occur on a weekly basis. I created them in Outlook and then synced them to my phone. The problem i have is when i complete the task and mark it off on my phone, the next time i sync, the task in outlook is not complete and has made a duplicate, is there any way to change this.

Thanks
