Thanks for taking a look at this, Chris.

I am using the same Pocket PC Name. Also, I have not
moved any PST files.

The problem is that apparently, both PCs assume they have
the most current information, so no option is provided to
replace all the items on the PC with the contents of the
Pocket PC...at least, not that I have found.

Since they as if you want to establish a partnership with
two PCs, you'd think they would provide this option.
This, I believe, is a deficiency in ActiveSync.

Thanks again,

Chuck
