Missing option in Sync Center

Please HELP!
With Active Sync I was able to enter details in the Notes section of a
Outlook Calendar appontment on any of my three devices and they would stay in
sync or create seperate entries. Three devices are a Vista Laptop, Cingular
8125 with Mobile 2005, and a 2000 workstation running Active Sync 4.5.
Here is what happened:
An apointment was added by the Windows 2000 workstation. Next, apointment
was transfered to the 8125. Next, apointment was transfered to the Vista PC
and notes section edited directly from vista. Next, Information was
transfered back to 8125 and then to the 2000 PC but now all three are missing
the notes. PLEASE HELP

MikeJ,

ActiveSync is not compatible with Vista. The following site has the
instructions and the lastest software designed for syncing using Vista:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobi...icecenter.mspx

Let us know whether that information solves your problems.

RE: Missing option in Sync Center

Mike,

OK, that's good you have the latest version for Mobile Device Center
installed. I only have one other link that contains some comments and
suggestions about resolving sync issues, here:

http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonlan/archi...ce-center.aspx

Peruse the link to determine whether there is anything there that could
resolve your problem. Perhaps someone else has some additional information
that he can contribute. Other than that, using google sometimes locates a
solution. Good luck.
