Activesynch/MS Office 2003 Issues
I don't know if anyone else is having issues with this setup, but I am. It seems the calender, and contacts, in Outlook will only synch appointments and contacts if you have checked a category, such as business, personal, and etc. If you don't give it a category, although Activesynch will act like its synching all of the items and say its synched when "finished" it won't have transferred the items from my laptop to my Axim. As soon as I go into each missing appointment and add the category it synchs the item instantly. Its a real pain to have to go in and manually fix everything. I haven't found a rule or switch to set in any of the software on either the Axim or MS Office to correct this. The "old" Office (2000) didn't care if you had checked a category or not, it just synched it. If I had known this was going to happen I wouldn't have upgraded to the new suite.

If you haven't already, in Activsync, select calendar or contacts, right-click and choose settings. make sure you are syncing all contacts or appointments, and not just those in certain categories.

Thanks, I already tried that. It didn't seem to affect anything though. I think its just another "quirk" some idiot programmer/developer thought was a neat feature. They probably had to implement some percentage change to the software to justify rolling the name. It wasn't enough to just mess with the screen designs. Ahhhhh, Microsoft, can't live with 'em, can't kill 'em either!

then either you can choose categories for your contacts and appointments (which can be useful), or downgrade back to outlook 2002 (on the axim cd). sorry I couldnt be of more help.

by the way, if you want an easy way to add/change categories for Outlook items...

click View | Current View | By Category

then you can maximize/minimize your category groups just like folders in Win. Explorer. just drag and drop items into different categories (this will add the new category, I'm pretty sure you must delete categories manually)

Thanks Chris, I'll give it a shot. I unfortunately can't go back in versions because my company "upgraded" the whole site and this our new standard configuration.

Just wanted to say that I am using Outlook 2002 at home and 2003 at work and have had no problems syncing with either on my X5.

My suggestion is to delete your partnership on the machine with 2003 and create a new one and try syncing it then. I know my partnership on my 2003 machine was created after the 2003 was installed and I had no problems, so that is the only thing I can assume.
