In most ways I like CA best, it is more feature rich and looks great, but I am switching to PocketQuicken because it now will let me enter invoices for my business account. CA will not let me do that. I have pointed this out to them and they say they do not plan on adding this feature. PocketQuicken did not used to let you do this eather but now it does. I have noticed several improvements in PocketQuicken in addition to the invoice feature. The syncronization is much faster now. I prefer CA's method but I can live with PocketQuicken's now. PocketQuicken will not let you select which accounts will syncronize. That is annoying because dead business accounts from 2003 etc. are put on my machine unless I deleat them from Quicken or archive them. I will figure out a work around.
My sync problem with CA happened after cleaning up my PDA with a hard reset. Things I tried to get CA working again.
Hard Reset the Device
Deleated Partnership
Deleated ActiveSync and associated files and registry entries
Disabled Firewall and Virus protection and tried to reinstall ActiveSync 4.2 and CA
This may be an ActiveSync 4.2 problem. I cannot upgrade to 4.5 due to my database application not being compatible with 4.5. At any rate, I think I did a clean reinstall. It syncronized once and never again (I did this multiple times with the same result and error codes). So, if there is user error, I do not know where it was. PocketQuicken has worked every time with no glitch regardless of hard resets or partnerships etc. So, CA seems to have a problem. Others have complained about this on their forum and on this site. They have now lost a loyal coustomer. The upgerade was free for CA, which is nice, I would have paid for it because I liked the software so much. I am at least happy that they did not charge me for the upgrade. Now I am looking for a PocketQuicken discount (good luck).
