Recently upgraded to Outlook 2007 & ActiveSync 4.5

No problems except I had to delete the old partnership from the Axim and create a new partnership.

Syncs fine. Better than before, actually.

Whew, I am glad that someone else is having issues with Dell x51 not syncing with Outlook 2007. I do not care what anyone says it DOES NOT SYNC WITH OUTLOOK 2007...any version. Forget Vista, I am running XP and I cannot get my Dell to talk with my Outlook 2007 period. If you can, please tell me how.
Thanks,
PAC

Tasks would not synch right for me with Vista and Office 2007.

I have the same problem but this did work when I had the trial version of Office 2007. Once I installed the legit version I could no longer get a sync. I was also using active sync 4.2. I tried upgading to 4.5 then back down to 4.2...still nothing. I deleted the partership...nothing. Hard reset on Axim and rename device...nothing. Once active sync tries to sync Outlook it crashes. Can't believe Dell's answer would be that the x51v is not compatible with Outlook 2007. From speaking with another software vendor regarding an unrelated emailing issue with another app they said that the Outlook 2007 code is so much different then any other version. We might not ever get to sync Outlook 2007 with the Axim...

Other web sites seem to indicate that Activesinc 4.2 and microsoft outlook 2007 can be connected so perhaps it is a Dell Axim issue only. His suggestion was to re-insall Outlook 2003 which would be fine except that I have 17 people at my office and need communication between the computers (i.e. secretary books appointments, etc.) Any information is greatly appreciated, even if it is just confirmation of the bad news.

I use my Axim 51v with Outlook 2007. I installed Windows mobile device manager and it works fine. Active sync did not work with Outlook 2007/Vista , this did. good luck :) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobi...icecenter.mspx

Ha, Ha. I always laugh at Dell help center. They are no better than asking a 10 year old.
Office 2007 and Vista are very compatible and do work. 99.9% of the problems are always configurtation, settings, or firewalls. Check these areas and make sure your usb drivers are up to date and install the latest Windows Moble Device Center.

Hello everyone,
I am having a slightly different problem syncing. I am running outlook 2003 on my desktop and outlook 2007 on my laptop. I am syncing both with activesync 3.8 over wifi. Before upgrading my laptop to Office 2007 from 2003, I could sync to both the desktop and the laptop with no problem. Now that I have updgraded, I can sync with the desktop fine. I am having problems syncing with the laptop. I can sync favorites, notes, and files. However, I am unable to sync calendar, conacts, and tasks.

What I have tried thus far:
-Sync laptop via USB (because activesync told me that I would be able to "review all error messages and dialog boxes that require your input, you must connect to this computer via infrared or serial/usb cable" --> I wasnt able to see anything else)
-running the outlook diagnostic tool from within the help menu
-soft reset of axim

I noticed that when I click the options menu from within activesync two new check boxes have appeared that I have not seen before. One titled appointments and a 2nd contacts check box? It looks like neither of these two items have the correct icon associated with them (they have generic blank icons). I tried syncing with both of these boxes checked, but that did not work either.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer
Jason
