I have a Windows Mobile 5 based device and I use activeSync 4.2 with Windows XP SP2 and Office 2003. I would like my work-contatcs and my work-appintments on my work-PC also show up on my mobile but I DO NOT want my private appointments and my private contacts of my mobile (that get snyched from my private PC) show up on my work-PC. So is there a way to force active synch when connected to my work-PC to only synchronize work contacts and appointments ?
Of course. You can Clickon the "Options"-Button in AS-Configuration-Dialog and you can tell AS, which categories shall be synced.

As being a Vista user, I was wondering if there exist a way to synchronize my Prophet with the integrated Windows Contacts and Windows Calendar app's instead of Office Outlook?
Mobile device center picked this up on my wifes computer because office outlook was never installed. Try uninstalling outlook, unpair your device (delete profile) from MDC and then try it again.
It won't sync... My Polaris was paired prior to installing Outlook, and it didn't work at all....
I did try to uninstall Outlook (wich was no problem) and unpaired my device.
When I tried to setup the relationship again, WMDC grayed out the options to sync Contacts, Agenda etc. because "Outlook is not installed".
Pitty......
To my knowledge, Windows Mobile will only sync locally with Outlook.
My girlfriend's Vista laptop does not have Outlook installed and I am unable to sync calendar/contacts etc using that PC.
My Vista laptop has Outlook installed and it sync's perfectly fine.
I posted this same question on the Microsoft boards and the moderator stated what we expected: syncing is only possible with Outlook.
So, that's it then, back to Outlook! (I like clean systems......)
Does having exchange sync set up on a windows mobile slow it down?
Ive trying to decide whether to bother, or whether to export calender etc from office to home pc and sync using cable every now and again?
Would use my treo pro to collect my live.co.uk windows mail?
Basically, I am asking what effect does having a sync set up with an exchange server have on the handset?
Hello,
i've a pda with WM 6.1
My problem is bidirectional synchronization.
The situation is:
1. On my mobile device are about 200 contacts (names, telNr, emails, adresses)
2. On my desktop pc with win xp + outlook 2003 (yesterday new win xp installation). Outlook is empty and doesn't have any contacts.
My problem in the past was deletion of new contacts on my mobile device.
For example i met someone in a club. He gave me his number and email adress. I type all the info on my mobile device.
If i plug my device at home (via ActiveSync) and tried to sync the contacts from my device with outlook on desktop pc this new contact was deleted!
Everything what wasn't on desktop pc was deleted.
Now i have my contacts only in my mobile device. Hot to set up active sync, mobile devic, desktop pc outlook to get the contacts from mobile device to desktop pc?
I'm afraid to lose all my contacts if i connect my mobile device with desktop pc :-( That everything will be overwritten with empty destkop pc outlook.
How to make the synchronization bidirectional?
1. If something is present only on mobile device and not on destkop pc -> save it on desktop pc.
2. If something is present only on destkop pc and not on mobile device -> save it on mobile device
3. Avoid duplicates
4. DELETE NOTHING FROM MOBILE DEVICE
Is it possible?
Please help me out :-/
best regards

Hi,
Sadly enough M$ does not use their AS themselves, otherwise it would be much more up to its task...
Best way to operate is IMHO : use PIMbackup to have a copy of your contacts saved. then sync the PDA and PC. When done, go into Extra | Options and change the settings to 'Leave item on PPC'. Restart PIMbackup and put back your backup-file. By the time you're finished doing that AS has already copied all your contacts from PDA to PC.
Dirk
have you looked in activesyncs settings
click Options
right click on the pc
choose source settings
look at the "if there is a conflict" dropdown
also it's always a good idea to backup your outlook on the pc
you can do that by exporting the pst file
Is there a way to get my CRM contacts to be available on my HTC HD2. Pretty annoying to not have any my contacts when I need to send/forward emails etc. from outlook on my cell.
We probably need more information here...
I'm guessing you're looking for move your contacts from your CRM software on your PC to outlook on your Phone, correct?
Which CRM software are you using? What OS are you using on your computer?
How are you connecting to your PC (WiFi, Bluetooth, USB, etc)?
OS: Windows XP Pro
Phone: HTC HD2 (Leo) with win 6.5 and Spb Mobile Shell
You are correct. At work we have Outlook installed with CRM integrated. It says Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 for Microsoft Office Outlook. All my important contacts are stored in CRM with mailinglists etc.
I am connected to te PC via both WiFi and regular mobile net (guess 3G..?) and the phone sync with ActiveSync.
Is there any way to make the phone be able to use CRM contacts when Im out travelling and need to send a few mails etc?
Is it absolutely no possible way to import CRM contacts and list from Outlook to Outlook on my HD2? Seems so strange MS haven't made this easier...
Hi. Long title but I am sure you know what I want to know. Is there any way how to sync Windows Mobile 6.1 calendar with Microsoft Works Calendar 9.0 (or different version)?
Reason: I have notebook with Win7 and pre-installed Microsoft Works Suite. And installing e-mail client (microsoft office outlook) is waisting of space because I dont use email client.
If not, is possible to sync with Windows Live Calendar (using Live Mail client).
Thanks
