As far as doing anything wrong, that could only be syncing a newly-emptied Axim to an existing partnership.
Forgive me if I misunderstood, but if you delete a file on the Axim, you'd expect it to be deleted from the PC on next sync, eh?
It wasn't a newly-emptied Axim - it was a hard reset Axim. Big difference. The way I understand it now, if I walk up to your computer that has an Active Sync on it and a cradle and I sync to your computer - it will wipe all your data and replace it with mine.

Yes, if I delete something on my Axim I would expect it to delete it from the PC. But if it's an Axim that has just been hard reset - I wouldn't expect it to delete all appointments and contacts from my outlook. I never could dismiss an appointment on the Ax and it would dismiss from the same appointment from.

I dunno - I hope after I do my tape restore tomorrow and install the bare minimum I need on the Ax it'll work like a champ. I was getting some weird errors from installing and removing so much software. Word and Excel quit working - Media player quit 2 winamp type applications later.

It's a good thing - just irks me all my data can be gone so easily. I don't believe I made a newbie mistake and pretty sure it could happen to anyone pretty easily.
