Mobility Site - View Single Post - Synchranize with multiple Contacts folders

The problem with the Outlook PCS program is that if you modify contacts on your ppc they all not modified into your custom folder on the pc. I liked the feature until I discovered this major flaw. There are some add on programs that will do the job. I have not used any. I now use the category method. The category method fails if you are using custom forms. Custom fields do not sync. There are add on programs for this too. I am not recalling names of the add on programs but do a google on the key words and you will find some. My solution has been to stop using Outlook for custom forms and use Access with Sprint DB Pro for my more complex client data base needs (tracking services and billing). Sprint DB Pro does not work on WM5 yet. I do not think the database issues have been fully worked out with WM5
