| 179528 | 2003-10-01 05:25:00 | My PDA syncs with Outlook 2002, but the address book is different than the Contacts list in Outlook. There seems to be two separate places Outlook keeps my names and addresses - one in Contacts and another different one in Address Book. yet I don't want this! I just want One place to keep my contacts list, and that place to update my PDA. Any hints? (apologies for the first two unformatted postings) | logden (4665) | ||
| 179529 | 2003-10-01 05:39:00 | This is out of Outlook 2002 Help file . . . . Outlook Address Book/Contacts The Outlook Address Book is created automatically and contains the contacts in your Contacts folder, which it displays in the Address Book dialog box when you click Contacts in the Show names from the list . Use the Contacts folder to store and retrieve all types of information about others, such as street addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, fax numbers, and Web page addresses . When you update your contacts, the Outlook Address Book is updated as well . It is recommended that you convert your Personal Address Book to Outlook contacts, because contacts support distribution lists, display (friendly) names, aliases, and all the other features that Personal Address Books support . Convert your Personal Address Book to a Contacts folder: * On the File menu, click Import and Export . * In the Choose an action to perform list, click Import from another program or file, and then click Next . * In the Select file type to import from list, click Personal Address Book, and then click Next . * In the Select destination folder list, click Contacts, and then click Next . * Follow the rest of the steps in the wizard . Outlook contacts are also fully integrated into Outlook, providing flexibility and customization that is not available in the Personal Address Book . For example, you can associate birthdays, several types of phone numbers, anniversaries, and other custom information with your contacts . You can also sort, filter, and view your contacts in customized ways; for example, by last name first, or by some attribute, such as postal code . And of course, you can also print your view using the customizable printing provided by Outlook . The Outlook Address Book is available offline . |

| 179530 | 2003-10-01 05:48:00 | What PDA? There are a few flavours . . . those who use the Palm Pilot OS (Palm OS) and those who use Microsofts WIndows CE or Pocket PC OSs . (Of course there are WinCE 1 and WinCE 2 . x, which have incompatible linking software :-( ) . I'm playing with a "new" toy -- a cassopiea which has WinCE 1, and I've just got it talking to my laptop through the IR port . It still needs some MS thing Schedule+ 7 . 0a to synchronise (so you're ahead of me, but you probably got software with yours :D) . If you get the PDA's model and version of software posted here, godfather will probably have the answer . (Passing the buck? Never . :D ) |

| 179531 | 2003-10-01 06:16:00 | Since my PocketPC 2002 Toshiba PDA refuses to talk to Outlook (despite all the fixes available) on anything like a regular basis, don't come to me for help . I can occaisionally get a sync, which is all that I need for my contacts list . As I do not use Microsoft for e-mail programs apart from the PDA, its not an issue for me . I always set the PDA to leave a copy on the server so its not part of my email system . I use mine exclusively for mobile e-mail, here and overseas . |

| 179532 | 2003-10-01 22:51:00 | Actually, it's a digital 'phone and PDA called a Qtek 1010 | logden (4665) | ||
| 179533 | 2003-10-01 22:53:00 | The sotfware is part of XP Pro - called "C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\WCESMgr.exe" | logden (4665) | ||
| 179534 | 2003-10-01 23:04:00 | The software is part of the standard Activesync thats loaded with the PDA software . The PDA uses Windows 2002 (PocketPC) . Its not a PDA problem, its how you have your Address Book and Contacts on the PC . Refer to Help and Support on the PC, from where the above paragraphs were taken . |
