Calendar Sync w/Categories

I am sync'ing with two computers, one at work & one at home. I want to set up ActiveSync on both computers so that I can maintain home & work appointments separate from each other. Right now, my home computer has all my work appointments. I tried selecting to sync only certain categories, but a connection of some sort still exists. I tried this first on a task (since I already had categories set up on these) and when I deleted a task with a non-syncing category, the task on the Axim disappeared. I tried creating two appointments on my Axim, one that should sync and one that shouldn't. They both appeared on my desktop calendar. I want to have all my work and home records on my Axim, but keep separate data on the computers. How can I set this up? Am I going to have to delete all the records I want keep separate and re-enter them?

Thanks.

Billy,

Ironically I was looking to do the same thing when I saw your post. I was up until Midnight trying to figure it out. I accidentally stumbled across some settings in Outlook that sort of do what we need.

If you open Outlook, then click view, then Current View, then Customize Current View. Select the Filter button, then the More Choices Tab, and then select the Categories button. This will take you to the Outlook filter that will only show those categories you want to see on that computer. So at work I have business and Work categories selected and that is all that shows up on my laptop. At home I have personal, family, etc and those only show up at home. The appointments are still there they just aren't showing. Hope this helps.

George

Let me know if you find another way of filtering.
