Yes TZ, definately should have done a desktop backup of Money, I agree there. I also agree that the Axim overwrote the desktop, the Axim must have tagged those transactions on the destop that were not on the Axim as 'deleted', I find this a suprising defalt for active sync, especially the first sync after a system restore, a time when more than likely info has been lost from the Axim, and not 'deleted'. Fortunately I found this problem before I had a lot of transactions to loose. (secondary epiphany here - 'backup often')

My real question still stands: After a system restore, will other apps delete things off the destop, such as contacts that were lost in the system restore, or tasks that were lost? I did not notice Outlook loosing any info... but that may have been because there were not Outlook objects (such as tasks, or emails and so on) that were lost in the origional system restore.

Do we need to set up active sync to 'restore' our Axim to be current (as in change the settings to overwrite info on the Axim, rather than 'sync') after we do a system restore?
