My Tosh e755 crashed the other day, requiring a hard reboot. I restored
from a backup (ActiveSync) and then resynced with my desktop to get the info
since the backup. At that time, AS IDed all the appts/contacts/etc. as
never synced and offered three choices (1) replace the pocketpc info with
the desktop info (2) merge the pocketpc and desktop (3) do nothing. I chose
(1) since it was the most current and I feared multiple entries from errors
in the 'merge' approach. So far, so good.

Now I'm trying to sync the pocketpc with my laptop. Again, the same three
choices - but this time the laptop data is not the most current - the
pocketpc hold the most current data. What I need is (4) replace the laptop
data with the pocketpc data. Is there a way to force this, or another
software tool to enable this direction of transfer? Other wise, I am
subject to the 'merge' approach - and in my experience many past
appts/contacts/etc. are created in duplicate and must be removed manually
(the find duplicate doesn't find them, presumably because AS didn't think
they were duplicates from the start...

Any advice?

Thanks...Todd
