Error 80180B04 Outlook can't sync an apptmt on Axim due to error???

[keithwnyc]

Two questions:

1. anyone else have a problem where a couple of appointments made on Outlook will not sync with the axim, and an error message will pop up (#80180B04) saying that the "appointment cannot be read from Microsoft Outlook due to an error". By the way, I "solve" it by closing out of Active sync and the re-setting the axim and syncing it again without a problem.
2. Does anyone know if we can somehow get a listing of all these error codes and their meaning?
