Help Syncing Outlook Contacts

[a1andres]

Hello again,

I'm a new user to the Axim X50 and to PDA's in general..

I need some help wit syncing my contacts from my Laptop Outlook to my Axim.

Here is the situation. In Outlook on my laptop I have a Main Contacts with sub folders for other contacts IE I have a Lodging Contacts and Distributor Contacts 'sub' folder. How do I get the Axim to Sync these also? It is only synching the contacts that are in my 'Main' contacts folder and ignoring the other folders.

I assigned a Catagory to the contacts in Outlook. I created a Lodging Catagory and a Distributor Catagory respectively..

In ActiveSyn I went to Contacts/options to see if I could select Lodging or Distributors as a catagory to synch with, and it's not an option..

What do I need to do?

Thanks!

Ok load ActiveSync. After you have done that put your x50v in its USB Cradle and Plug USB in. Then run ActiveSync go to options and make sure contacts are seleced to Sync. Then check what ever else you want to sync.
Outlook Express doesnt work.

EDIT
I dont think you can do sub folders

Yeah, I made the NooB mistake of not searching before I asked a question, I found some decent help.. Turns out you need to have all your contacts in one MAIN folder and then attach a Catagory to each contact so that when you sync it, PPC will import them all.. I kind of like having the seperate sub folders on my PC though.. oh well, I'll figure it out!

Thanks though!
