So... I guess all this car talk means nobody knows what the cause of the "Synchronization cannot be started because you are not able to log on to the network and access information. " error message, or how to fix it.
The only way to make MS understand is to write a better OS for less money, and has the easy run features of MS, and to hire real good PR team to advertise it.
Umm... Anyone heard of OSX?

Well, I finally got it to sync! It seems there was an installation issue with Outlook 2007. I ran the new Office Diagnostic Tool which is located in the Help menu on Outlook and after about 15 minutes, it said out of all the tests it found and fixed one problem, so I thought I would try the sync again, not expecting any success and low and behold - It worked! I just had contacts selected so I then enabled all the other sync options including One Note, many email folders, Business Contact Manager, Mobile Favorites, Mobile Docs, Notes, Tasks, Calendar...
It is syncing now but looks like it is working, I will post back when it is complete and I can verify the data integerity.
It is odd however, that there was an installation problem when Vista was a clean install immediately followed by a clean install of Office 2007. My Outlook data was then imported into the newly created .pst file created by Outlook. Not sure why there was a installation problem here. I had even uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 to try to fix the problem. Maybe there is a bug in the installation code of Office 2007 and the Office Diagnostics code catches this but only if the program is run.
One Care is on and the port allowances and program exceptions have been applied as advised elsewhere on this and other forums.
And, humbly said - Thanks Microsoft for providing a diagnostic tool that solved the issue of my various recommended MS software products not working together.
Also, a big thanks to all on this site who have listened, agreed and disagreed and most importantly helped to find a solution!
I dual-boot Fedora Core Linux and have a KNOPPIX Linux "Live DVD" for backup.

An "X" in my post shows I'm posting from my Axim.

Thank You SpaGuru!!!:approve:
I had the same problem and that solution worked for me too.
MS Office (and thus Outlook) has had that Diagnose and Repair feature since Office2003. I've used it before to fix other problems (it often needs the Office CD-ROM to fix, but didn't this time) but would have never thought of it by the way the error message looked. Perhaps if it said "a problem with Outlook..." but a "not able to log on to the network..."sounds like a network or security issue.
One thing positive about MS, the diagnosing and repair of problems gets better, such as comparing Win98 to XP and now Vista. I ran Office2007 beta since August, and Vista RC1 since November. Automatic updates fixed driver problems as they became available, and online crash analysis fixed some problems too.
I am pleased to report that everything is working as it should!
After a successful sync of everything from all my outlook data including notes, tasks, contacts and calendar, I was able to also sync my email including selecting the particular mail folders I wanted included from my .pst file.
After the successful sync I also loaded all the apps that came with my Axim including the Bluetooth Dell GPS system, which works pretty good. I have several other GPS systems - some that are factory installed on our Goldwing, our vehicles and also a Garmin Nuvi 660 in my wife's car. The Dell system is pretty user friendly and connects to the receiver pretty painlessly. The interface works pretty good too and so far my only complaints are that it does not state the name of upcomming crossroads as my other systems do and you can only zoom out to a 10 mile pan view.
I also received a Dell BT keyboard and got it installed and working. It works pretty good and is a pretty compact unit. I couldnt figure it out on my own and had to read the manual on CD to get it to link up as you have to press a key sequence on the keyboard to get it to be discoverable by BT.
Some other games were also installed and worked perfectly.
After using the Axim yesterday and installing all the software and actually being able to use the unit I was most pleased. I just now put it on the cradle and it Synched right up as we all hope it would do, without any problems.
Thanks again for the solutions and suggestions and it does appear there are several others with the exact same problem and a "Sticky" might be in order here for the continued error message I kept receiving, and the solution I found. Again, I had uninstalled and reinstalled Outlook 2007 a couple of times with the same result but after running the Office Diagnostics program, the problem was resolved and the sync performed as it should.
Maybe now I will thow away that small notebook and pen!

But, not right out of the box as it was supposed to.
Even Microsoft Tech Support could not figure this one out after paying (and getting a refund of) $25 and being on the phone with them for almost 4 hours...
It seems there is a bug in the install of Outlook 2007 as I tried reinstalling the program a couple of times with the same result. The only fix was by using the MS Office Diagnostic tool...
Still working good here... This seems to be the solution for Outlook 2007. you will need to run Office Diagnostics in the Help menu on Outlook to eliminate the Network Errorr and enable synching...:approve:
