Outlook 2002
Pocket Outlook
ActiveSync 4.0

I use my Pocket Outlook Calendar as a journal during the course of the day
by adding notes to events and appointments (by adding notes I don’t mean I
open up notes and attach them I mean I click on the note tab in the day
view). For some reason when I sync the notes do not get synced to my PC. I
should add that all of my events/appointments are recurring events and when I
do edit the notes I am only editing the one occurrence (today). I think I’ve
covered all the configuration options in OL, PO and AS (making sure that
conflicts get overwritten on the PC etc.) but my notes still don’t show up
when viewing the event/appointment in Outlook.

I just tried this with OL 2003, Windows Mobile 2003 (first editon), and
ActiveSync 4.0 and the notes firld synced just fine.

Brian:

Thanks for the input.
1. Forgot to list WM 5.0 in the "vitals".
2. Could I trouble you and ask, when you mention "notes field", you are
talking about  the "box" under the event/appt. details that appears in the
window when opening up an appt./event - correct?

Correct.  On the PDA side, it's the Notes tab of the appointment.  On the
Outlook side, it's the large space within the appointment itself.

Either I'm doing something wrong or it's some "issue" with the software - my
guess would be WM 5.0

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll keep searching for a solution.

This is driving me bananas ... I just synced and all the notes that I
actually copied and pasted manually into Outlook are gone. They're still
there on the handheld but gone on the PC.

I just did notice this note in the AS 4 help file:
"Note   Some features supported in your personal information manager (PIM)
may not be supported in Calendar. These features may not be synchronized or
they may be synchronized incorrectly."

Thought I had it all figured and bam ... last night I lost a week's worth of
notes from both the PC and the device. :(
