activesync question

[omaralt]

hey guys, i just spent the last 1.5 hrs "fixing" my contacts (merged a bunch into one contact, fixed the last name, first name crap, etc) anyways, now that its perfect, i'm scared that if i sync it with my computer, which still has the contacts the old way, they'll just sync over to the phone and i'll be back where i started... does it default to use whats on the phone first? is there something i should change on activesync to make sure that it uses the info on the phone, and not the computer? thanks

ActiveStink is suppose to default to "new change" first. So in theory, AS should change the contacts on your desktop. If there is a change on the desktop AND mobile, it is suppose to ask which change you want.

One way to make sure, is to delete the partnership that is set up in Activestink, then start a new sync. In the new partnership set up process it "should" ask if you want to replace items on desktop with the one on your mobile, or vise versa.

For good measure, having a third party app to back up your contacts my be a wise thing if all goes wrong.

If you're that worried then use a back-up program first to save the modified contacts.

When Syncing the last modified version is distributed. The only time it would overwrite from PC to phone is if you edited them on your PC or if your deleted the partnership and then established a new one with it set to always overwrite PPC Data.
