I am having problems with synchronising data with 2 PCs (Office + Home). (I just started using this 2-PC partnership today) While it gladly accepts the partnership 'per se', It doubles the nos of files/contacts/tasks/etc. to be synced and gives the option to either:
1. Combine the data with PC and Axim;
2. Replace data on Axim;
3. Leave it unresolved!

Now I definitely had more files and pictures on the Axim (none on the home PC's Axim folder), but the contacts were exactly the same. So I chose the replace data on Axim option. (They did not have replace on PC!!?) Anyways, so I was hoping that only the identical files would be replaced and the newer ones on my Axim would not be touched. However, after the synchronisation, the contacts which were the same were fine but I lost all files on my Axim!

I definitely have a copy of my files and images in my work PC, but will I have this problem everyday??

How should I synchronise my Axim with my Home and Office PCs? I am using Windows XP on both PCs and while the home PC has Office 2000, in office we use Office 2003. Could this be an issue? The activesync version is 3.8 which allows 2 partnerships. Also: before I synced, I had set the rules in the Home PC Activesync to "in case of conflict replace data on PC from device" option.

Could I please know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
