Ouf. Thanks for the help. Just in case this can help anyone else, I finally uninstalled and reinstalled activesync, hard reset,connected via irda and signed on as a guest. I was then able to restore my full backup file and got all my programmes, setup and data back. Up to that point, so far so good.

However, I then hit complications when I tried to connect again to resynchronize with outlook 2002 on my PC, I was asked to create a partnership again, in spiteof the fact that when I restored the device my partnership, called Axim 2, was reinstalled. I created a new partnership, Axim 3, which tried to synch, but froze midway with the result that my contacts got deleted. I reinstalled the contacts and synched again as Axim 3 and got a load of duplicate addresses, which I then deleted. I then resynched and asked that all items be replaced on my PC. Result was that all items were replaced on my device and I lost about 100 addresses out of a total of 550...???!!! I am still figuring that out, but at least I have a backup of my contacts which I can restore again. Hopefully I will have this totally worked out soon, but in the meantime I have at least made a full backupfile on the device which I can get back after a hard reset without having to use activesync. However, you may see me posting again, if I have problems...
Thanks again.
