Hi.
I am having trouble with some Compaq Ipaqs. We have a Novell 5.0 Server and are running Windows NT on the pc's. The ipaqs are installed using the serial port.

Install the first ipaq to the 1st pc. Everything is okay. Install the 2nd ipaqto the 2 pc and the 1st ipaq quits synching. Get the first ipaq syching again. Everything is okay. Install the 3rd ipaq to the 3rd pc.... Nope, the 3rd ipaq synchs with the 2nd pc instead of the local pc.

Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions are appreached.

Thank You
Michelle

Stop Synching before your done. Their is probably an interrupt everytime you tried to install each new pc. Try to wait.

A couple of questions for you if you have not already found your solution

1.) I presume that you are loading the software on the local PC's right for the synching?
2.) There is nothing being synched from the network right?

1) is yes
2) the first time was with outlook's pst folder on a network home drive. The users did not have access to each other home drive. The next time was with the pst folder on the c drive.

You could try a third party soluton like SyncExpress. SyncExpress allows syncronization of Outlook Express' Address Book, Inbox and Outbox folders with Pocket Outlook. SyncExpress supports Outlook Express included in Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5, 5.01, 5.5, 6) and ActiveSync 3.x.

ActiveSync is the problem program. SyncExpress is a plug in for ActiveSync. It did give me the idea of looking for an ActiveSync replacement.

Thank you
