Can you sync with 2 different computers?

I am looking to be able to sync with 2 different computers. When I got my Axim, I set up ActivSync on my laptop at home to be able to install programs I had downloaded. Then, I got ActivSync installed on my computer at work so that I could sync up my work email, contacts and calendar. My network guys installed 4.2 for me, and when I did the setup, it made me delete the profile associated with my home laptop. What do I do now? I don't have time to install programs at work....

I sync my Axim with my home XP Pro system and with my system at work, which also syncs to our exchange server (see enclosed jpeg). While the current version of AS is 4.5beta2, I used AS 4.2 up until a few days ago. I don't remember offhand if I had to install the first profile at work with the exchange server, then go home and add the home profile. I *think* the last time I did it they way you described I had to create a new profile at home after the work profile was created, but once I did that it worked fine for me, except of course when not on the vpn my axim complains about having to work offline about the exchange server.

The only hitch is that you cannot sync Mail, Calendar, and some of the other PIM data to more than one profile, so you must choose which computer sync's those. When you set up the 2nd profile in AS, those will be grayed out.
