this is the problem

Message pops up on wing... I snooze/dismiss it on the wing but I STILL have to do it on the PC...(after I sync it pops up as an outlook reminder)

this happens vice versa as welll.. I'll snooze an item on thee PC and it will still pop up on the wing..

any ideas?

Totally annoying I've searched all over without solid answers... I've reinstalled AS 4.2 without any luck.

Ah I know what you mean, it hasn't been dismissed because your phone didn't tell outlook it was dismissed. I have the same at home but I never really cared.
There is an option in active sync where you can tell it what to do in case of a conflict; Replace on phone, replace in outlook, etc. I'm not at home right now so I can't check where it is but i think it's just under options. I'll get back to you tomorrow somewhere in the afternoon.

Hay man just got home from work pretty late:p Nightlife you know.
I don't think it's a bug, Outlook just notifies you again even if you don't like it:p There is an option to disable calender notification in Outlook, but then there's the chance you'll miss an appointment when you don't have your phone with you, you don't hear it or the battery is dead, etc.

Personally I always have my phone charged and with me, so here it is:

Outlook -> Tools -> Options -> Other -> Advanced Options -> Reminder Options -> Uncheck: Display the reminder.

Hope it'll be to some use for you

Is it just me or are others frustrated with the "options" provided by active sync? I have for options; 1) replace information on laptop with information on device (and loose all new info on my laptop) 2) replace information on device with infor on laptop (and loose all new info on my device) or 3) combine info on devices (and duplicate all the contacts and calendar).

I am using AS vers 4.5.0. I remember AS 1.?.? I could "syncronize" with syncronization!..the program would update both devices with any information that was new (including changes to contacts and emails) since the last time they were sync'd

Am I missing something or has this program gotten stupid(er):p
Thanks
