MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2005How do I sync with an offline .pst containing contacts?
I am running Office Outlook 2003 with SP1 in a domain environment using Exchange. My Contacts appear on the Exchange server under my username. I would like to store my contacts offline, on my local machine in a .pst file with high encryption for security. I have the .pst file view opened in Outlook and I can see all the contacts just fine. However, I am trying to get ActiveSync 3.8 to sync with those offline contacts. How can I designate the offline .pst as the default contacts location so that I can sync them with my PocketPC? Thanks! IIRC, ActiveSync can only synchronize your default Contacts folder, which would be the one in your Exchange mailbox.

So, it seems like I might find the answer in an Activesync newsgroup? Too bad Outlook 2003 doesn't let you change the default Contacts location. -B.Hall > IIRC, ActiveSync can only synchronize your default Contacts folder, which would be the one in your Exchange mailbox. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > > > Thanks! Actually, another user posted in the ActiveSync newsgroup and I found the following tool does exactly this and it works wonders. It's called Intellisync. Microsoft should buy Intellisync and incorporate it into ActiveSync. Here is his post: > Hi, > ActiveSync synchronizing with the PC defaults to the default folder for > calendar and contacts.

Dear bhall007, have a look on this site: http://www.slipstick.com/addins/olpda.htm we tested XTNDconnectPC to synchronise also "not default" PST files with Palm and PDAs. I think they will have a 30 days trial version. There also other programs listed on slipstick that supports "not default" PST files (e.g. Lookout or Intellisync). -- Oliver Vukovics Share Outlook without Exchange: Public ShareFolder Notebook Synchronisation for Outlook: Public SyncTool http://www.publicshareware.com > I am running Office Outlook 2003 with SP1 in a domain environment using > Exchange.

Thanks Oliver for the post, I'll look into XTNDconnectPC. bhall007 > Dear bhall007, > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > > > Thanks! Too bad there isn't a demo version available to test it out as it costs $60. If you are aware of any other products that let you do this, please post. Thanks! > Dear bhall007, > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > > > Thanks! |
