How do I set up my XDA so that the synchronised files folder gets stored on another driver other than the C:\.
I have 2 hard drives on my machine and want it stored on the other one.
Thanks.
it will always sync with the dir you get in my documents
but on a pc you can always change the location of my documents
if you change that to your other disk activesync will sync with that
use tweakui to change the my documents location
Hello,
I've a great problem. I used PocketInformant and made a new appointment. Then my PDA (HTC Trinity) freezed. I made a softreset and after this lots of programs could not be started.
But the greatest problem is that all my PIMs (appointments, contacts...) are away. When I want to open Contacts I get a Error Message: Cannot logon to the the Pocket Outlook Database .
What can I do now? I know that all data is stored at the pim.vol . Are there any programs where I can read out this file?
It hasn't to be comfortable. I just need to see my appointments so that I can write them manually down at my Outlook on PC.
Does anyone know of a way to synchronize Skype contacts between the PC and Kaiser? The roundabout way of exporting Skype contacts to a .vcf file into the synchronized device folder is an acceptable alternative, of course, but needs manual dumping of the Skype file in order to work.
Hi,
Please excuse the noobie question!
I have an alpine and bought a new hermes
Activesync for me has always been a bit hit and miss, with it sometimes connecting and sometimes not
But I have two main issues:
1. How do synchronise my calendar with microsoft outlook's calendar?
2. How do I transfer all of my files and calendar from my alpine to hermes?
Thanks for your patience!
in activesync options on the pc one just click the checkbox for calander and files and whatever one wish to sync
when calender and files are synced copying the file dir for the old phone in my documents on the pc to the new files dir for the new phone and you're set
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:
