Still sympathetic, but I'm with shdytxmn that activsync can work with WM 2003. I installed, with some trepidation, WM 2003 this past weekend, and it went swimmingly. So far, so good. Activsync works, to a point, but I still need to both soft reset the axim and delete and rebuild (twice a day) a .dll file that some program, maybe Eudora, is fighting over with activsync (or maybe fighting with Outlook, I am way too inexpert to tell).

There's no excuse for activesync, though. The only thing slower is PIE, AS is full of bugs, it doesn't play nice with other software, any exceptional situation will kill it outright, and many usual situations will also render it inactivesync. The handspring device running Palm OS I had previous to my axim sucked in a lot of ways, but it at least had robust and well-behaved syncing software. I can't believe there isn't at least a third-party alternative; I, for one, would beat a path to the door of anyone selling actual working sync software for the ppc.

So, sorry Old Codger, I'm even less help now than I was before (hah! my comfort zone!), but I feel your pain.
