hi..im looking for a program to track my vehicle mileage, for business expenses. ive seen a few, odometer recorder seems to be the best, but, as i use the calender to organise my day, it would be great if there was some plug in that would let me record mileage with each appointement?

I am so looking forward to trying this.. It supports Public Folders on Exchange Server over the DAM INTERNET! Finally..
8) Now you can have multiple folders and Contacts and Calendars and just about every ddam thing you can use in Outlook 2003 with an Exchange server... Even Outlook Small BUsiness Manager.
I do not think the program can dial from the Contacts, (when I tried it a few months ago it could not), but I think it is on their list of things to do.
Pocket Informant and Agenda Fusion SUCK after trying this.
A reply from them, "ROSSync was developed primarily for the Enterprise user. The price for ROSSync for up to 25 users is $1,200 and it includes 5 user licenses of Pocket On-Schedule."
Dam.. I was hopeing it was affordable! :roll:
I use microsoft money 2007 on my PC to manage my finances. Is there anything on the handheld that I can put that will synch with MS Money 2007?
I used to use money also but the MS stopped supporting the WM plug in, i then went to ultrasoft money in some minor respects it is not as good and the MS plug in. But in the main it does work well
Spb Finance
Try Spb Finance.
For me it works great.
Cash Organizer works pretty well with money, although I use 2005 (the last UK version produced).
There used to be issues with SPB finance syncing with Vista and/or WM6 although those problems may have been solved by now.

I second that. syncing it seamless
Hello,
I've been using PI8 on my TP2, and it's great software, especially as I like the Franklin Covey functionality.
I run everything through Exchange Activesync, because I'm only in the office once a week, and I like to keep my data backed up ota with my work server.
I'd like to be able to sync all my FC data with Outlook when I do dock my laptop: Today I tried downloading Plan Plus and its PI plug-in, but the result was several duplicates of each task entry, and no reflection of the task priorities I'd assigned- result: a wasted couple of hours!
I've also tried Plan Plus online, but it's very poor compared to PI.
Has anyone managed to find a good synchronisation method using exchange activesync? Are there any other FC/GTD task applications which work as alternatives- even if synchronising to clouds? It would be great to have my tasks on a Big Screen when I want them!
Any advice gratefully accepted! Thanks!
Hi,
the topic says it all: I'm looking for an GTD (or ToDo) app, that can sync with web clients. There's shuffle that syncs with TRACKS, and astrid that syncs with RTM, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. Is there anything else that syncs with webapps?

Have you tried ActionComplete yet? It has a web interface and apparently follows many GTD ideas.. Been a while since I did GTD, so I can't compare directly, but it works well for me as a todo list. I use it "wrong" though, and prioritize on dates vs urgencies, but it can sort or alert based on several different criteria.
Only thing that bugs me is you can't set a reminder in the web version, if you want a reminder you have to set it in the client. But you can do all of the work in the web client and then the reminder or tweaks from the client.
Thank you, AC looks quite good! I'll certainly try it and see if I like it better than Shuffle.
I use Got To Do, very nice interface, perfect syn with Toodledo! IMO much better (specially autosync!) than Astrid..
Hey gang.
I'm asking an honest question.
I used to use a Winmo6 device to run my diary-centric business using Kerio Server for OTA sync of appointments and contacts with my office.
When I migrated to iPhone I knew I would sacrifice the winmo skin with one glance calendar, and might lose some calendar functionality. I've made do since then.
I'm due a new phone. I'm loathe to pay Apple even more money for old rope when I'm sacrificing basic functionality like Exchange Calendar Appointment Categories which no iPhone PIM or Calendar apps appear to support.
I've been playing with Android and found that Touchdown and Moxier both restore this feature to my mobile device.
But WinPho is by far and away the nicest Ui i've seen yet.
Unfortunately the store demo unit that I played with indicated that the calendar app does not allow exchange/outlook categories and the appstore support for third party solutions seems limited.
Can anyone comment on this from their own practical experience and advise me please.
I'd love to think WinPho can win me back, but so disappointed that only Android seems to allow this functionality with its more open system. I'm looking for a business solution, and the best the phone store salesman could offer was "all our smartphones allow you to use Facebook!"

This might flame the hard core WP users and trolls but from experience, I have a WP and it's nice; it works good and does what it is supposed but from what you just said I take it that you want actual Phone functionally like on WM or Android. Granted that Outlook is easy to use, it doesn't work quite like it did on WM for one you can kiss plugging it in and using Active Sync good buy because it is not available on WP7. As a matter of fact you can actually kiss about half of your functions that are available on WM. My advice stay with WM as long as you can. WP is not WM you will be at a total lost if you switch.
Here's a good reference of Active Sync abilities of each platform. Windows phone already does most of what people need, more will come with Apollo in Summer.

Ignore Sinister as he knows nothing about exchange.
I actually admin our network and exchange 2010 for our company...
Here is a review that touches on some of the features
http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/27/windows-phone-7-5-mango-review/
It does pretty much everything windows mobile did with exchange + more. The only thing it doesn't do is on device encryption, and show multiple appointments on the lockscreen or live tile (it only shows next but if you click on the live tile it will go right to agenda view by default.
Also not the above post by the person above this shows the policies it suppports. You will note it says attachments no - that means that the admin can't block attachments, not that the email client cannot get it.
Thanks for that.
I'm in the position where, unless I see a feature in action for myself on a demo machine, I don't know if it is really the same thing.
Can someone WITH the device, who syncs an ojtlook calendar via exchange, advise me of the following...
In Outlook2007 I have 10 categories set up and colour coded to help me identify job origins for my subcontracting and to aid billing. I assign my calendar dates such a category.
With iOS cal, and previously Anxroid cal, I can sync exchange, and create appointments, but cannot see or assign categories which means I have to go back to Outlook2007 to fill in the gaps.
With Touchdown on Android I can now not onlt see the categories in Touchdown, but I can use them and assign them to events.
I am hoping that WinPho can also see, display and utilise these Outlook2007 event categories. Is that correct?
Wikipedia entry for Outlook Mobile confirms calendar categories support, but how complete is it?

Ok, tested this as i never use categories in exchange. It DOES NOT support the colors for categories.
This review was post no do from pocket now but also says the same as it is now.
"The Calendar is another place you'll probably spend a lot of time since it's important that your smartphone help manage your schedule. A great new feature is support for multiple calendars from different accounts such as Exchange, Windows Live, and Gmail. You can set a different color for each calendar account. Categories do not have their own colors like in Outlook on the desktop. You might also notice that there are only 3 calendar views; Day, Agenda, and Month. Week and Year views are gone. I never really used week view, so I won't miss it"
Now some argue they want week view but if you use exchange you no as well as i that you really can't read week view very well if you have a lot of appointments. Month view shows days you have appointments but they are too small to read and it's really just for seeing if you have anything going on that day and going to the day by clicking on it to read it in full. The agenda view though is great and it supports multiple calendars on the same view ( i have 2, hotmail that i use for personal and exchange). Now each of these are color coded and you choose the color. I think the category you saw was for the contacts and not the calendar. It does have the todo and in settings you can make your tasks show up in the calendar. I also tested categories in todo and it makes no difference. It does however allow you to show the tasks in the calendar if you go to settings and set it to show todo's.
I am thinking most built in apps do not show categories as touchdown was 3rd party.
It also supports out of office assistant and for meetings there is a quick i'm running late button that will send everyone in the meeting a message that you are running late for a meeting.
It also supports searching the GAL in your contacts "search outlook directory" if you don't have a contact locally.
Oh and for categories, i never used colors. instead i, myself usually make it part of the appointment like - Meeting with consumer - billable, or meeting with consumer - non-billable
Reason being in outlook you can search for everything with the word billable or non-billable for reference and it will display all of them as a list. (Nice for printing) with start and end time / date. i don't think that i know of you can show only certain categories. This may or may not work for you though. Just the way i do it.
If you have any other questions with exchange, i'd be glad to answer them truthfully.
oh btw at my office we use outlook 2010 and exchange 2010 so it's not the version of outlook you are using that doesn't do the categories. it's the phone.
