Re: Two-Way Synchronization: What's The Problem?

If I understand this correctly 'it appeared to be running, it would not let me open it into a window', you can't actually get AS 3.8 to come up as a program, true?

If so the KB below notes a couple of files that likely need to be removed when un-installing AS and trying to downgrade. I'd un-install AS from the control panel, delete those files and try re-installing.

Wish you hadn't gone the extreme route to start with. Just dumping the partnerships first might have helped. Maybe you did that.

I uninstalled Outlook and ActiveSync, and did a hard reset on my device. I then installed ActiveSync 3.8, but even though the icon showed up in the notification area and it appeared to be running, it would not let me open it into a window, and I therefore could not create a partnership. Do I need to somehow manually delete the previously existing partnership? Obviously ActiveSync is pretty useless as far as synchronization goes if I cannot create a partnership. Any ideas? Thanks.

That is a fairly odd problem. The setup you have is perfectly fine, though I would not have upgraded AS with a 2215 and Windows XP. AS 3.8 worked just fine (better in many opinions), AS 4 and up was only required for WM5 and up.
Regardless. I would try deleting the partnership and re-establishing it. You need to delete the partnership on the desktop. If you are comfortable with it, you might hard reset the device, but that is really a last resort, as it takes it back to out-of-the-box, and you get to set it up from scratch.

You might try running scanpst.exe to see if maybe there is something buggered up in Outlook.

Again, your setup should work fine. I don't expect that upgrading anything would serve much purpose and maybe even cause you further aggravations. The 2215 is a bit outdated as you say, but understand there are not too many options now that aren't converged devices...include a cell phone capability. HP has brought out some new devices, so if you are interested in upgrading look at the new iPaq 100 and 200 models.

I am using an HP iPAQ h2215 PocketPC and Outlook 2003, along with ActiveSync 4.5. If I create the event or appointment using my device, it synchronizes perfectly fine, even if I modify it in Outlook. However, if the event or appointment is created in Outlook, it will not synchronize. I have been unable to find a reason for this, and I would appreciate any suggestions anyone has that may solve this problem. Something else that I have been wondering that I have not yet received an answer for is whether or not buying a device that uses Windows Mobile 6 would help (if the problem is on the device end), or if upgrading to Outlook 2007 would help (if the problem is on the desktop end). I would be perfectly willing to purchase a new device (mine is somewhate old), but if it is avoidable, I would prefer to not need to upgrade to Outlook 2007 (although I would be willing to do it if I knew it would solve the problem). Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
