Hi,
I am a Systemadminstrator and resonsible for Pocket PC's. I have developed a Tool in Perl / TK to install a Pocket PC from sratch.
One that is missing in my Tool is a funktion to create a imap4 Profile on PPC from Desktop (directly or on ppc).
Did anybody know ho to do this ??
Thanks,
Maeffy

I need to synchronize my Touch Cruise with Microsoft Access on my PC desktop but who develops database (SprintDB, f.e.) writes me:
"there is no way to synchronize database files on Windows Mobile 6 because Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 does not support database sync"
It is unbelievable, my old pda with Palm OS (no Windows!) was more compatible with Microsoft that this one with Windows Mobile create by microsoft ????
There is some experienced that can help me to resolve this problem?
There's no Pocket Access, so what's the point in syncing it?
Unfortunately with the version 6 of Windows Mobile and 4,5 of Active Sync have disappeared Pocket Access what it converted the files .mdb in to .cdb
ActiveSync 4.1 (or maybe it was 4.0) supports database sync with WM2003. However, WM6 does not have the proper conduits, in fact no version has since WM2003. WM5 can be been hacked to support database syncing. So I assume WM6 can be too. I don't know this alone will do it, you may then have to hack ActiveSync 4.5 to include (if they are indeed excluded) whatever database conduits ActiveSync 4.1 and before have.
These instructions may apply to WM6 also. (Original thread can be found here: http://www.tierramapper.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10)
The following steps will enable Windows Mobile 5 devices using Active Sync 4.x to create Pocket Access (.cdb) databases by copying and pasting a PC Access database to an Active Sync connected Pocket PC device.
Microsoft, by default dropped this functionality when upgrading from PPC 2003 to Windows Mobile 5.0. The following will re-enable this feature.
*This procedure is only required for Windows Mobile 5.0 users.
1. Copy the 4 files in the http://www.TierraMapper.com/Downloads/WindowsMobile5PocketAccess.zip file to your Pocket PC in the \Windows directory.
2. Register the adosync.dll. From your Pocket PC, open File Explorer and navigate the \Windows\Regsvrce.exe file. Click on this file and type the full path to the adosync.dll, \Windows\adosync.dll, and click OK.
3. On the desktop, remove the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\SpecialDefaults\PocketPC04\Services\Synchronization\Objects\~MicrosoftTable
4. Disconnect and reconnect the PPC device before "Pocket Access" sync enabled.
You are now ready to copy an Access database to your Pocket PC and Active Sync will prompt you with the Pocket Access (.cdb) conversion dialog as in PPC 2003.

it's problematic when there are so many stronger database applications than Pocket Access such as Borland...
Possibility
Could this be a similar issue for me?

Thank you.
Thank's Sonus but you write:
"3. On the desktop, remove the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\SpecialDefaults\PocketPC04\Services\Synch ronization\Objects\~MicrosoftTable "
but regretfully the key ~MicrosoftTable doesn't exist in my registries. I only find:
~Appointment
~Contact
~Merlin Mail
~Task
Media
Do I perhaps have to add it instead of removing it?
I have read the forum to the link tierramapper and TierraMa talk only about WM 5. I have WM6 instead.

Hmmm, that's interesting. I have the ~MicrosoftTable entry in my PC's registry. Don't create the entry though. Instead try following steps 1 and 2, make sure that the "Convert files when synchronized, copied, or moved" box is checked in ActiveSync "Tools>Advanced Tools>Edit File Conversion Settings..." and then copy an MS Access database file (*.mdb file) to your Touch Cruise using activesync. Report back to us as to whether or not you then get prompted to setup a database sync.

In order:
1. I have performed the points 1 and 2 correctly on device;
2. i have just flagged the "convert files" in "acive sync 4.5 build 5096;
3. in tools of Active Sync, for "microsoft Office Access Application" in the setting folder "conversione from PC to device" i see: type of file of PC = .mdb, type of file of device = .mdb (i try to modify in .cdb but it is no possible!);
4. with right click in setting icon "file" in Active Sync i added a sample of .mdb file microsoft access 2000/2003;
5. i can see this file in folder "C:\Documents and Settings\battocch\My Documents\HTC_P3650 My Documents\" on my desktop PC with XP;
6. i syncronize PC and device;
7. after syncronisation i see again the file .mdb in personal folder of PC but there is not anything in the device.
I try even to reinstall Active Sync but nothung it is changed.
Step 3 is the issue. Earlier versions of ActiveSync would allow for a conversion of mdb to cdb when copying database files. This would then allow for a sync relationship. My guess would be to try an earlier version of ActiveSync (4.1 or earlier)...
I haven't used it but Handbase appears to sync with access:

Hello all,
I'm looking for a PIM Software (mainly calendar, contacts) under WM6 that runs completely separate from the integrated office mobile. So it should have sort of an own entry in activesync to tell what exactly to sync to that software independently.
I allready had a look to Agenda One and Pocket Informant, but all of these share the exisiting databases of WM's internal office mobile.
When looking at sync tools from chapura or intellisync, they offer advance sync possibilites, but dont support other applications on the ppc than office mobile !?
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance,
Joe
Maybe look into old software of wm2003 era. im sure theres some primitive simple solution.
What about 4.0 student or the dog ate it... i know they are student planners but maybe just maybe independent.

Have you considered tying google calendar into pocket outlook via oggsync and for contacts I do all my adds/removes via the dashwire app from a pc.
Hi,
I'm looking for a phone that will sync with my sharepoint folders on outlook 2003 (eg contacts, calendars), without needing to use chapura pocketmirror (which doesn't seem to be very compatible with vista??)
Does anyone do this? What phone do you use? My old ipaq 2210 used to do it using pocketmirror with no worries - but my treo 750 doesn't like it at all.
Any advice?
Cheers,
Steve
Hi,
I don't really believe that there is such a tool (nothing found with google) but...
I want to exchange appointments from S710 to my old SDA (runs also with WM6.5) to have know my appointments when I use my old "beach-mobile". At the moment I need to send Pimbackup-file via bluetooth from s710 to SDA and recover datas. Or I sync via "Microsoft my phone" (I have no outlook) but then I need to start my notebook because SDA has no WLAN.
So both ways are annoying - and if there would be a way to sync from Mobile to Mobile via bluetooth (not with single vcards/vcalendar) that would be great.
Does such a tool exsist??
Regards Odiad
Try to get an old Outlook (2002 is ok). It should be part of any device delivery for WM2k3 or WM5. Still you have to get up the PC but your devices stay in sync for what you configure.
Hi tobbie,
I've got an old Outlook version (don't know exactly which) but it runs not on my Windows7-notebook. Before I changed to Win7 I did this via Outlook. But I use a other email software, and to buy a newer Outlook only for syncing makes no sense in my opinion.
And a direct sync from mobile to mobile via bluetooth would be excellent. But I haven't really believed that I get a positive answer from anybody.

Set up a virtual machine in Windows hosting XP then install Outlook there or install the old Outlook on Windows 7 as an old application (XP mode). The first should work for sure.
My preferred VM is the VMWare player, but WM7 has an own.
Hello tobbie,
sounds good, but I googled a little bit after your hint (haven't installed a VM yet) about virtual machine and Win7. Windows Virtual XP machine on Win7 is only available for Win Professional or ultimate. But I've got only Home Premium.
And I don't know if there is a suitable freeware-VM, and if I have to pay for then it makes no sense for me. I don't need so often to sycronize my both mobiles, so I don't like to pay for it.
Regards Odiad
VMware player is free - I also use it and it is very comfortable. You can attach/detach USB connections from/to host/VM and vice versa. Definitely worth the time!
But first try should be to get Outlook running in Win7. I wonder why Outlook would not install directly. Can't you install "old" applications in a kind of "XP mode" in Win7?
