Hello Neil,

Try this -- Open the contact whose web page address is not available in the
PPC and do edit operation (add one character and then delete this
character). Save and Close the contact information and synchronize. If my
guess is right, you should now be able to view the web address field.

There is no way to specify which fields need to synchronized while using
ActiveSync. The fields that are available on the PPC is all you will be
able to sync from your desktop. If you want to more control over the fields
that are to be mapped with the Pocket PC, then you should check out
Intellisync or Pocket On Schedule --
