I have seen a few posts in both the Windows Discussion Groups and in other
places, but so far haven't been able to find anything resembling an actual
solution. So I'm going to describe the problem I know a number of people are
having, and hopefully get an actual solution if there is one.

I'm running Windows Vista Beta 2 for CPP (5384.)
I'm also running Office 2007 Beta, specific to the problem, Outlook 2007
(12.0.4017.1003)
I have a Windows Smartphone running Windows Mobile 2003.

Previously, when setting up the phone on a new computer or for the first
time, after installing ActiveSync, I can choose what to synchronize
(Contacts, Calendar, E-mail) and whenever I plug the phone in via USB it
sync's the information between Outlook (2003) and my phone. When I had
Outlook 2007 Beta running in XP, it worked the same way.

In Vista, it doesn't work at all. My phone is detected, and from the get go
I could sync files and media, and explore the device, but there was no option
for sync'ing with Outlook.

After the recent update to the Windows Mobile Device Center, it looks as
though everything is in place, and when I plug my phone in, it asks me to
delete the other partnerships (which I did) and then what I would like to
sync with Outlook.

And this is where the problem occurs:



I can't check any of the boxes (Contacts, Calendar, E-mail) because it says
below them "Outlook has not been configured."

But it has been configured. I'm using e-mail, contacts and calendar in 2007
in the exact same way as I was in 2003 on XP and 2007 on XP. I looked through
almost every setting, and searched numerous message boards, and haven't found
the answer.

What is more strange is that some people seem to have no problem
synchronizing their mobile with this same setup, while others like myself
cannot.

So what is the deal?

Is there something that I and others with this problem simply have to do in
Outlook?

Is it just an unfinished part of WMDC that will be updated soon?

Is it a problem in the Outlook beta?

Any sort of help would be appreciated, even if it is just a confirmation
that it is a bug that will be addressed, because then I'll stop trying to
make it work.

Thanks.

I think it works with Windows Mobile 5.0 devices only at the current time.

I wrote about this issue the first day the Update came out. I have been
checking many forums and different sites and many people are reporting same
problem. It is not the WM5 issue. I have read post from some that it works
perfect with WM5, 2003SE and Outlook 2003 and Beta 2007. So, I don't think
anyone including MS knows what is causing this issue. I would say from what
I have read here and on Aximsite its a 50/50 thing whether it works for them
or not. Hopefully someone will figure it out.

What OS on your Axim?
What Office version?
Can you sync to Outlook, or are you only syncing to Exchange?

What OS do you have on your Axim51v?

I have an Axim30 (windows mobile 2003SE) and would like to sync it with a
vista(tm) pre-rc1 build 5536, but don't know how to do it.

Where do I get wmdc?

Somebody said at control panel/additional options. It is not there, only
logitech camera control.

Thanks in advance, Gerhard
