I can't connect via USB - still trying to resolve with DELL.

Anyone not been able to do this, but has managed via a USB bluetooth adapter? Thinking as it a USB adapter, may get the same problem, but imagine i would be using different drivers.

Any thoughts?

Also, if i don't actually want to sych, just transfer files, images etc, can i do this any other way, or only via activev sync? (can this be done using a CF card reader or something?)

apprciate any thoughts

If you can, put what model Axim you have in your Profile folks can help you out better. I don't know if you are running WM5 or not? IF so, here is a bluetooth sync guide Here

done - and thanks for the link
