Re: Excel Mobile forces duplicate file creation in another location.

>> Rhetorical question: THIS is Windows Mobile 5? <<

not really... most of what you are reporting has been the "rule" since the pocketpc was introduced in 2000

wm5 complicated the picture a bit with files on the storage card due to both how it "views" the card along with known storage card file access problems, but you didn't indicate if that was a factor in your current frustration.

http://BevHoward.com/bhhpj.htm#Docs goes into this "design limit" as well as some info specific to wm5.
