Well, there are a few things I don't follow about this syncing.
The ActiveSync created a folder called "Pocket_PC/ My Documents", on my desktop hard drive, as a sub folder to "My Documents" and I can delete files in the Pocket_PC folder, on my desktop, then do a "add" files from my desktop ActiveSyc utility, using the "My Documents" folder as the location to sync from and VILOA! the files are recreated back in the "Pocket_PC/My Documents" folder. If I alter a document in my desktop "My Documents" folder, it will not change the documents on my Axim. If I change a document on my Axim, in the "Pocket_PC/MyDocuments" folder, it will not change on my desktop.
This is duplication of the files and I know I can add a short cut in the "My Documents" file so I will be working with the documents in "Pocket_PC" directory, but I don't want to have Duplicate files. It would be so easy to make mistakes this way.
I have removed all files in the desktop active sync window, deleted all files in Pocket_PC directory and re-added the files using the desktop Activec Sync utility, using the correct directory, and this condition still repeats. HELP!
Thanks for your response, LaSmooz
