Another noob with sync probs;)

Hello everyone.
Hope you all had a good xmas and will have an even better new year. Happy birthday to AU.com too. My problem is with an X51v which after syncing randomly changes all events for the coming year in the 51's calendar. I'm running a fully updated copy of office xp and activesync 4.2. My pc outlook is still correct but the dell's is all over the place. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Can you be a little more specific ?.. How is it changing the appointments. Is the Axim date and time set to match the PC ??. Is the x51 clock perhaps set on visiting ??

Also you are aware that in activesync, you can select the way the contacts and appointments are sync'd ???? Look under options > rules

yes, I'm wondering if you mean that the axim deletes old appointments, or deletes appointments that are more than a few weeks into the future?

that would be the default settings in your activesync.

to correct this:

1. sync your axim to the PC
2. with the connection intact, go to activesync on the desktop
3. TOOLS | OPTIONS
4. then click "Calendar",
5. go to the lower right and click on "settings"
6. In the Calendar synchronization dialogue box, click the dropdown menu and select ALL

I'm pretty sure the default setting here is to only sync the past two weeks of appointments - if you leave it that way, your axim will delete all appointments outside that range.
