MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2006Problem with Pocket PC sync
I am using My Outlook 2003 contacts and I have sub folders such as Personal, Business, Technical etc. Unless the contacts in the main Contacts folder it will not sync with My HP 4700 series pocket PC with Pocket PC 2003 Premium w/Outlook 2002. Can anyone help me with this issue? I guess I could move everything to main Contacts Folder and use it that way but that it will make it very inconvinient since I have about 10 sub folders. Thanks Activesync will only sync with the main folder - there is no way to make it do otherwise - because you can't have folders within contacts on the PPC. You can either move all the contacts to the main folder, and then use categories to keep them organised, or can buy Pocket Mirror Pro (Google it), which will keep them all in folders on the desktop, but use categories (named after the folders) on the PPC. Pocket Mirror is quite expensive though.

Thanks Mark, Thanks a lot, That answers my question but Can you tell me how to use the categories to do what I am trying to do? I am somewhat familier with it but not indepth. I used to use Palm so I am familier with that. > Activesync will only sync with the main folder - there is no way to make it > do otherwise - because you can't have folders within contacts on the PPC.

Create a category that corresponds to each of the groupings you associated with your subfolders and assign those categories to the appropriate contacts. Then you can use the By Category view to show your contacts in groups.  SignatureBrian Tillman Thanks, Just to make sure that I understand correctly, So keep all contacts in the Main Contacts folder but give them categories and than view by categories on contacts folder in their own groups? Correct ? Thanks Again Brian! > > Mark, Thanks a lot, That answers my question but Can you tell me how > > to use the categories to do what I am trying to do?

Yes, you keep everything in your mail Contacts folder and use categories instead of subfolders. You can create categories that make sense to you. SignatureBrian Tillman Remember also that you can have as many categories per contact as you want, which in many ways makes it better than using folders because a contact in both business and personal (for example) will automatically be up to date in both, whereas in folders you'd have to maintain the same contact twice - once in each folder. On the PPC you can use filters to keep the contacts separate, just as you can in Outlook Mark >> Thanks, Just to make sure that I understand correctly, So keep all >> contacts in the Main Contacts folder but give them categories and [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Yes, you keep everything in your mail Contacts folder and use categories > instead of subfolders.
